Denmark — Cyber Threat Profile
Denmark is completing its National Strategy for Digitalization 2022-2026, maintaining its rank as one of the world's most digitally mature nations. The 2026 focus is on the resilience of SMEs and the security of critical infrastructure against AI-powered social engineering. The Center for Cyber Security (CFCS) leads national defense, advocating for a "security-by-design" approach in all public digital solutions. Denmark is also linking cybersecurity to its green transition, ensuring that smart energy grids are protected from disruption. With a strong culture of public-private collaboration, the nation continues to shape global digital policies while fostering a population highly literate in digital risk.- National CERT/CSIRT: Centre for Cyber Security (CFCS / SAMSIK)
