The EU Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has published its latest NIS360 report, recognizing that cybersecurity maturity across high-criticality sectors in the EU has been steadily improving as organisations respond to evolving policy requirements and the cyber threats they face. Banking, electricity and telecommunications remain the most mature and critical sectors, while three sectors, trust services, aviation, and financial market infrastructures (FMIs), moved into the high maturity band. It also noted that four sectors strengthened their maturity within the moderate band, covering gas, road, maritime, and health.
The ENISA NIS360 report identified several compounding factors contributing to these improvements, including developments in cybersecurity legislation, increased political attention, and progress across specific maturity dimensions assessed. Overall, maturity is steadily improving across critical sectors, but progress remains uneven both across and within sectors. Several factors contribute to these variations, including skill shortages, sector-specific characteristics, and even organisational size.
