The threat in the cyber and information space primarily comes from authoritarian states such as Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, which use hybrid networks of state and non-state actors to conceal responsibility and escalate conflicts. Long-term analyses highlight their high operational activity and the increasing blending of actor roles. The EU is responding with a comprehensive diplomatic response framework, the effectiveness of which, however, is highly controversial. A fundamental reform of European cybersecurity policy should therefore follow the Janus principle: It should consistently review inefficient structures and processes while simultaneously taking technological developments into account. Five concrete reform approaches are available for the EU Cyber Posture to leverage synergies and find an effective, resilient response to these dynamic threats.
