Cybersecurity, Albania among the most vulnerable countries in Europe

Global cybersecurity is under increasing threat. The number of cloud vulnerabilities worldwide, meaning potential weak points in systems, has doubled in just four years, rising from 1,700 to 3,900, according to research by IBM's X-Force, Euronews.com reports. 

The analysis was conducted between 2019 and 2023 tracking various cloud platforms and services worldwide, not just IBM's.


Bosnia, Serbia and Albania most at risk in Europe

The most sensitive and vulnerable part of Europe's cybersecurity appears to be the Balkans, according to new research. A recent ranking compiled by cloud security company Kloudle named Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Albania as the most vulnerable countries on the continent to cloud security breaches.

With a risk score of 71%, Bosnia and Herzegovina is the most vulnerable of all. It has experienced nearly nine million breaches in the past two decades and is the most exposed country relative to its size. It also has the lowest cybersecurity readiness score.

Bosnia is followed by Serbia and Albania, which have an overall risk score of 69% and 67% respectively. However, Serbia and Albania had much higher levels of preparedness.

Great Britain and Italy under attack

The UK ranked fourth in terms of overall risk due to the high number of estimated breaches of the most sensitive system points in the last two decades - over a billion. Italy is the other major European economy among the most at risk countries, with around 800 million breaches estimated.

Italy can however count on a high level of preparedness, for which it scored 88 out of 100.

"The vulnerabilities exposed in countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia highlight critical gaps in cybersecurity infrastructure that need immediate attention," says Kloudle CEO and founder Akash Mahajan.
