The 11th edition of the Threat Landscape of the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) highlights the disruptive impacts of AI chatbots and AI-enabled manipulation of information.

The findings of the 2023 Threat Landscape report of the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) highlights need for vigilance ahead of the upcoming European elections in 2024.

ENISA recorded approximately 2580 incidents during the reporting period starting from July 2022 up to June 2023. To this total, 220 incidents specifically targeting two or more EU Member States must be added.

Sectors mostly targeted include public administrations for 19% and health for 8%. However, because of interdependencies, a cascading effect is observed, with a single event usually impacting several sectors at once. 6% of all events target the manufacturing, transport and finance sectors.
