ENISA releases 2026 State of Cybersecurity in the Union report

Ce qui s’est passé

ENISA published its biennial State of Cybersecurity in the Union report on 10 November 2026. The report introduces a strategic compass and five key policy directions, highlighting AI‑driven threats, supply‑chain risks and the need for stronger cross‑border coordination. It references ongoing EU legislation such as NIS2, the Cyber Resilience Act and the Cyber Solidarity Act.

Pourquoi c’est important pour la confiance et la conformité

• Its status is announced. It is not law yet. Track it, but do not treat it as an obligation.
• The report provides EU‑wide guidance on improving cybersecurity resilience, especially as AI amplifies threats.
• It relates to NIS2. The regulations library explains what that law requires.
