ENISA's report highlights a surge in cyberattacks on EU public administrations, primarily DDoS attacks, which accounted for 69% of incidents, targeting websites of government entities. The report emphasizes the critical importance of strengthening cybersecurity as many institutions handle sensitive data and essential services. It identifies DDoS attacks, data breaches, ransomware, and social engineering as prevalent threats, suggesting that public administrations remain a high-value target due to their strategic data. In response, ENISA proposes recommendations for enhancing cybersecurity measures, including multi-factor authentication, network traffic filtering, and improved collaboration among entities to mitigate threats.
