Cybersecurity in Europe

The cybersecurity landscape in Europe is as diverse as the 44 countries in it. Their cyber outlook reflects each one’s varying attitudes towards risk, privacy, and security as well as the key organisations that operate nationally or regionally. Despite that diverse outlook, Europe’s biggest enterprises are united in the challenge they face not only in preventing a cyberattack - whether it is delivered through phishing attacks, supply chain hacks, or social engineered targeting - but in being resilient enough to recover from one when it happens.

Taking steps to defend against attack will not guarantee that you can prevent one. But planning to be as resilient as possible does give you the best chance to recover. Forewarned is forearmed. Organisations that take a mainly proactive, preventative approach to cybersecurity are significantly less likely to have experienced a cyberattack or data breach than those who adopt a resigned, reactive approach. Having the right toolset in place will help, as will adopting a zero-trust defence which assumes that there is a breach and so verifies each request as though it originates from an open network.
