Cybersecurity

On 3 October 2024, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) jointly organised a table-top exercise titled “Personal Data Breach Awareness In Cybersecurity Incident Handling” (PATRICIA). The event, hosted at the EDPS premises in Brussels, aimed to raise awareness among staff from European Union Institutions, Bodies, and Agencies (EUIs) on managing personal data breaches.

AI tools and systems can prove to be useful to help protect institutions and organisations against cybersecurity threats. But, they can also facilitate cyber-criminals' work in gaining access to your personal data.

This European Cybersecurity Month, we focus on 4 positives and 4 challenging aspects of AI in cybersecurity. 

Der EDSB und ENISA organisieren gemeinsam die Cyberübung PATRICIA - Personal dATa bReach awareness in Cybersecurity Incident Handling, eine Planspielübung mit Schwerpunkt auf dem Umgang mit Datenschutzverletzungen. Diese Initiative wird im Rahmen der Aktivitäten zum 20-jährigenJubiläum des EDSB und der Kampagne zum Europäischen Monat der Cybersicherheit - ECSM am 3. Oktober 2024 von 08:45 bis 16:00 Uhr in den Räumlichkeiten des EDSB organisiert.

Speech by Wojciech Wiewiórowski, European Data Protection Supervisor at the kick-Off for the European Cybersecurity Month 2024, hosted jointly by the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and the European Committee of the Regions (CoR). 

With approx. 68 admissible personal data breach notification, 22 of which caused by external attacks amongst #EUIs in 2024 so far, how can you or your institution recognise, prevent and mitigate cyber threats that can lead to personal data breaches?
