Analyzing Cybersecurity Strategies of the European Union: Challenges and Opportunities for Public Administration

Cybersecurity attacks have increased in recent years, both on the EU and global levels, in terms of their number and impact. The public administration sector is particularly at risk, as this is where most cybersecurity attacks take place. It is therefore important to develop comprehensive information security strategies on both the organizational and national level. Strategies help to set up a relatively long -term focus and priorities. The aim of our study is to understand how the EU member countries deal with such challenges. To achieve this, we analyze three indices: the level of penetration (PL), level of digitalization (DL), and global cybersecurity index (GCI). We examine individual national strategies to provide a basis for a comparative analysis which can serve as a reference for improving the long -term cybersecurity in the public administration.
