ENISA, EU's Agency for Cybersecurity, released its annual Threat Landscape report, covering the period from July 2021 up to July 2022.

EU Agency for Cybersecurity Executive Director, Juhan Lepassaar stated that "Today's global context is inevitably driving major changes in the cybersecurity threat landscape. The new paradigm is shaped by the growing range of threat actors. We enter a phase which will need appropriate mitigation strategies to protect all our critical sectors, our industry partners and therefore all EU citizens."

State sponsored, cybercrime, hacker-for-hire actors and hacktivists remain the prominent threat actors during the reporting period of July 2021 to July 2022.

Added last year, the threat distribution across sectors is an important aspect of the report as it gives context to the threats identified.

Frequency and impact determine how prominent all of these threats still are.

An impact assessment of threats reveals 5 types of impact; damages of reputational, digital, economical, physical or social nature.
