ENISA publishes report on cybersecurity threat landscape methodology

Article summary

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has published a report establishing a cybersecurity threat landscape (CTL) methodology with the aim of setting a baseline for the transparent and consistent threat intelligence across the EU. The report outlines the horizontal, thematic and sectorial threat landscapes where the methodological framework considers the identification and definition of the process, methods, stakeholders, tools, as well as the various elements that constitute the CTL. The Agency further notes that every CTL should be actionable, timely and accurate, while outlining its approach that focuses on collaboration, starting with the collection of various inputs, performing analysis, interacting with key stakeholders and providing clear recommendations for the improvement of the CTL. ENISA states that the report is a living document and is continuously looking for feedback to improve the methodology, while noting a potential move towards automated information processing in the future.
