This study aims to identify and collect information on future cybersecurity threats that could affect the Union’s infrastructure and services, and its ability to keep European society and citizens digitally secure.

The outcome generated by this practical application of the framework is the identification of 21 cybersecurity threats which may emerge or be exacerbated by the year 2030.

A secondary objective of this report is to demonstrate that the foresight framework can be applied in a practical context and to identify areas of opportunity in the framework to improve the applicability of foresight activities.

Finally, the exercise of threat identification and prioritization serves an internal purpose of supporting strategic objectives by providing relevant focus topic for future planning.
