What is the most pressing cybersecurity challenge in your country or region today? 

Hungary’s key cybersecurity challenges include the rapid rise of AI-enabled cyberattacks, the protection of critical infrastructure, IoT, and cloud environments, and persistent shortages of skilled cybersecurity professionals. The adoption of advanced cybersecurity technologies remains limited, while implementing EU cybersecurity regulations places an above-average compliance burden on organisations.

How does your CyberHub help address this challenge? 

Strengthening cybersecurity skills through education, upskilling, and awareness-raising is essential to address these gaps while keeping pace with evolving technologies and regulatory requirements such as the National Cybersecurity Action Plan and NIS2. CyberHub Hungary serves as a bridge between the cybersecurity community and policymakers, providing feedback on the practical impact of NIS2 transposition and supporting more effective, streamlined regulatory approaches.

What concrete value or impact has the CyberHub generated so far in your country? 

CyberHub Hungary strengthens the national cybersecurity ecosystem by bringing together academia, industry, public authorities, and professional organisations. Through conferences, workshops, and job fairs, it enhances cybersecurity skills, supports workforce development, and helps translate European cybersecurity priorities into effective actions tailored to the Hungarian context.

Why should other countries establish CyberHubs?

CyberHubs help countries build stronger cybersecurity ecosystems by connecting education, industry, public authorities, and other stakeholders. They identify skills gaps, align training with labour market needs, foster partnerships, and increase cybersecurity awareness. By joining the European CyberHubs network, countries gain access to shared methodologies, best practices, international collaboration, and scalable solutions that strengthen both national resilience and workforce development.
