The Centre for Cyber Security’s key assessment of the cyber threat against Denmark The threat from cybercrime: VERY HIGH Cybercrime poses a real and persistent threat to all Danish public authorities, private companies and citizens. The ability of cyber criminals to develop and adapt their tactics to new realities and the specialized cooperation that takes place on closed Internet forums increases the threat. The threat from cyber espionage: VERY HIGH The Centre for Cyber Security assesses that foreign states can and will try to steal valuable information from Denmark. Time after time, specific incidents and attempts to attack have given credence to this assessment. ! ! The threat from destructive cyberattacks: LOW The Centre for Cyber Security assesses that the threat from destructive cyberattacks against Danish public authorities and private companies is LOW. Though several foreign states have the capabilities to launch destructive cyberattacks, they are currently less likely intent on conducting destructive cyberattacks against Danish targets. The threat of cyber activism: LOW The numerous protests seen in 2020 have not been reflected in more cyber activism attacks worldwide. The number of attacks has thus remained at the same level as in previous years.
