In 2025, we tracked 174 threat actors and responded to nine significant incidents affecting Union entities.
Our annual Threat Landscape Report is out. Cyberespionage, supply-chain compromises, and AI-enabled social engineering are reshaping the threat landscape.
Our top recommendations: patch internet-facing systems and edge devices as a priority, and adopt end-to-end encryption for sensitive communications.
🚀 Today, CERT-EU is publishing https://lnkd.in/e6BhqkY5
its Cyber Threat Intelligence Framework https://lnkd.in/eGvPgHv8,
a reference we share with our constituents to classify, assess, and prioritise malicious cyber activity affecting Union entities and their ecosystem. It introduces shared CTI concepts and a clear scoring approach to support consistent reporting, alerting, and prioritisation across CERT-EU products, including Cyber Briefs and the TLR Year in Review. 🇪🇺 We are publishing it openly to increase transparency on how we structure and prioritise CTI, and to invite feedback from peers and cybersecurity professionals to further refine and strengthen it. 🦾
🤝🛡️ We welcome your feedback, suggestions, and practical observations at
services@cert.europa.eu to help us continuously improve the framework for the whole community.

#AnnualReport
🚀 Exciting Developments in EU Cybersecurity! 🚀
The 2025 report from the Interinstitutional Cybersecurity Board (IICB) has just dropped, and it's already creating waves in Brussels. 📈 With Regulation (EU) 2023/2841 in its second year, Union entities have achieved significant milestones in strengthening their cybersecurity frameworks.
🔒 Key Highlights:
▪️ Establishing robust cybersecurity risk-management frameworks
▪️Assessing cybersecurity maturity levels
▪️Tailoring measures to manage cybersecurity risks
▪️Leveraging the FREIA framework contract for trusted service outsourcing
CERT-EU continues to play a critical role in defending against advanced threats, identifying over thirty malicious actors targeting Union entities. As the threat landscape becomes more complex, our collective resilience is paramount.
Don't miss out—grab a cup of your favorite beverage and dive into the IICB report to discover how these efforts are keeping our Union strong and secure for the future. 🛡️
