This #cyberFriday, to conclude the #EuropeanCybersecurityMonth we recommend you the latest report by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity. This year’s edition of the ENISA Threat Landscape analysis sketches out current trends, highlights the most frequent and severe threats to the European #cybersecurity and identifies the most targeted sectors.

🔐 Long, unique, avoiding common patterns… Do you follow the rules of making a strong password? And do people with similar background do?
📝 On the occasion of the European #CyberSecMonth we would like to remind you of the insightful analysis by Andreanne Bergeron. In her paper “Tell Me Where You Live and I Will Tell Your P@Ssw0rd: Understanding the Macrosocial Variables Influencing Password’s Strength” she explores how factors such as literacy or government accountability correlate with cybersecurity habits of the broad population.

🍎🧙‍♀️Not every treat is sweet!

Phishing is a type of attack where 🦹‍♂️cybercriminals try to obtain your personal data by contacting you through 📧email, 📞 phone, or 📲direct message.

🎭They pretend to be someone you know, in order to trick you into sharing personal information or even your login credentials.
 
Here are some key tips:
🕵️Check the sender’s email address
🕵️Look at how the email or message is phrased and if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes.
🕵️Analyse the tone of the message: urgent, exciting, anxiety?
🕵️Check the list of recipients of the email or message.

Since 2012 in October the European Cybersecurity Month campaign takes place. Initiated by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity and the @EUCommission, #ECSM aims to provide the public with accurate and up-to-date knowledge about online threats and to promote good cybersecurity habits among individuals and organizations both public and private. In Poland ECSM is coordinated by our publisher, #NASK. Over the course of the entire month numerous conferences, webinars and educational events for local communities are organized.
Dear readers from Europe and from all over the world – care to share what actions are carried out in your countries to promote cybersecurity for everyone?

🎙️ TechDispatch Talks – New Episode Out!

🍂🤖 October marks the European Cybersecurity Month 2025, and we are joining the conversation with a brand-new episode of TechDispatch Talks on the topic "Human Oversight of Automated-Decision Making!"

In this episode, Laura Hernández together with Julia Hodder explore both the opportunities and the risks of automated systems, from transparency and accountability to trust and cybersecurity.

This discussion builds on the last #TechDispatch publication: if you missed it, you can read it here: https://www.edps.europa.eu/data-protection/our-work/publications/techdispatch/2025-09-23-techdispatch-22025-human-oversight-automated-making_en

Marking the 1️⃣3️⃣th anniversary of the European Cybersecurity Month, this year's edition gives a spotlight to the human element in cybersecurity. Besides addressing pressing challenges related to the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals or the crucial role of behavioural change in fostering a safe online environment, the high-level panel also looked into the achievements, challenges and opportunities for the years ahead across EUIs.

#EDPS, as a data protection authority, supervises not only how the EU institutions 🇪🇺implement data protection rules, but also cybersecurity measures and how they handle personal data breaches. Recent statistics show that many breaches stem from cyber-attacks and this creates an overlap between obligations under #EUDPR and Cybersecurity Regulations where notification under ⏱️ 72 hours to the EDPS plays a key role. Cybersecurity implements one of the seven core principles of data protection: integrity and confidentiality of personal data.

@Supervisor Wojciech Wiewiórowski highlighted the importance of a robust cybersecurity that is the essential foundation for effective data protection: “𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘺𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩.

As our #CyberSecMonth campaign ‘Your brain is the first line of defence’ comes to a close, Urpo Kaila, Head of Security Policies at CSC, shares his reflections on #InformationSecurity and on what he believes to be also the ‘last line of defence’:

“The last line of defence is not about listing requirements, regulations and standards, or the latest hype in #cybersecurity tools. It is you!"

We often hear that the #HumanFactor is the weakest link in the #security chain, but as cyber attacks continue to evolve, so too do our protective measures and #SecurityAwareness

According to Enrico Venuto, CISO at Politecnico di Torino, humans are beginning to serve as the most acute and sensitive sentinels against cyber attacks: https://connect.geant.org/2024/10/28/the-weakest-link

"The human brain is the most resilient link in the chain and the first line of defence in #cybersecurity"
