According to ISACA\u2019s<\/strong> newly released 2024 State of Cybersecurity report, 66% of cybersecurity professionals report that their roles are more stressful now than they were five years ago. This heightened pressure reflects the growing challenges posed by modern cyber threats, with 38% of organizations experiencing a rise in cyberattacks\u2014up from 31% last year. The most common attack methods include social engineering (19%), malware (13%), unpatched systems (11%), and Denial of Service (11%).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

2).\u00a0<\/strong>EU DIGITAL IDENTITY: Advancing Secure and Trusted Electronic Identification through Certification<\/strong>. The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA<\/strong>), in collaboration with the European Commission, has been tasked with supporting the certification of the\u00a0EU<\/strong>\u00a0Digital Identity Wallets (EUDI<\/strong>). Aligned with Regulation (EU<\/strong>) 2024\/1183, which aims to establish the European Digital Identity Framework, the European Commission has called on\u00a0ENISA<\/strong>\u00a0to assist in certifying the\u00a0EUDI<\/strong>\u00a0Wallets. This includes the development of a candidate European cybersecurity certification scheme under the Cybersecurity Act.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
