The Rising Threat of Cybercrime in Central and Eastern Europe

The digital landscape in Central and Eastern Europe is under attack. Cybercrime is evolving faster than ever, with a doubling of disruptive attacks in 2024, many traced to Russian-backed groups targeting critical infrastructure .

These attacks are becoming more sophisticated due to the rise of Cybercrime-as-a-Service (CaaS), making ransomware tools widely accessible, and posing severe threats to industries such as manufacturing and finance.

One alarming trend is the use of AI by hackers to automate and enhance their attacks. AI is enabling cybercriminals to act faster, making traditional defenses less effective. At the same time, businesses in CEE face a talent shortage in the cybersecurity space, leaving organizations vulnerable.
