Cybersecurity-specific elements in IPCR
Note: Given the nature of hybrid threats in the cyber domain that are designed to stay below the threshold of
a recognisable crisis, the EU needs to undertake preventive and preparedness measures. The EU Hybrid Fusion Cell is
tasked to rapidly analyse relevant incidents and inform the appropriate coordination structures. The regular reporting
from the Fusion Cell can contribute to inform sectoral policymaking to enhance preparedness.
— Step 1 — Regular sectoral monitoring and alerting: the existing, regular sectoral situation reports and alerts
provide indications to the Council Presidency on a developing crisis and its possible evolution.
— Identified gap: There are currently no regular and coordinated cybersecurity situation reports and alerts as
regards cybersecurity incidents (and threats) at EU level.
— Blueprint: EU Cybersecurity situation monitoring/reporting
— A regular EU Cybersecurity Technical Situation Report on cybersecurity incidents and threats will be
prepared by ENISA on incidents and threats, based on publicly available information, its own analysis and
reports shared with it by Member States' CSIRTs (on a voluntary basis) or NIS Directive single points of
contact, European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) at Europol, CERT-EU and European Union Intelligence Centre
(INTCEN) at the European External Action Service (EEAS). The report should be made available to the
relevant instances of the Council, the Commission and the CSIRTs Network.
— On behalf of SIAC, the EU Hybrid Fusion Cell should compile an EU Cybersecurity Operational Situation
Report. The report also supports the Framework for a Joint EU Diplomatic Response to Malicious Cyber
Activities.
— Both reports are disseminated to EU and national stakeholders to contribute to their own situational
awareness and inform decision-making and facilitate cross-border regional cooperation.
