Hungary — Cyber Threat Profile

Hungary's 2026 posture is shaped by the January 2026 amendments to the Cybersecurity Act (Act LXIX of 2024), which refined the scope of the NIS2 transposition. These updates specifically targeted international corporate groups, easing compliance for smaller subsidiaries while maintaining strict oversight for medium-sized enterprises. The Supervisory Authority for Regulatory Affairs (SZTFH) is currently enforcing mandatory registration and risk-management audits. Hungary's strategy prioritizes digital sovereignty, with a focus on protecting national data from foreign interference. The government is also investing in "security-by-design" for public administration, ensuring resilience against increasingly complex, state-sponsored hybrid maneuvers that characterize the 2026 European digital landscape.
