Poor data sharing undermining EU cyber defences, auditors say

Efforts to combat cyberattacks across the European Union are being undermined by member states’ failure to share enough information on the incidents, the European Court of Auditors said on Monday.

The 27-nation bloc was investing more and more in cybersecurity – with €1.4 billion ($1.61 billion) in its current budget – and improving cooperation, according to the court, which reports on how effectively the EU spends money.

But this was not working as well as it should, it added.
