Romania — Cyber Threat Profile

Romania is advancing its national cybersecurity posture through strengthened alignment with EU and NATO defense frameworks, with a focus on critical infrastructure resilience and counter-APT readiness. The National Cybersecurity Directorate (DNSC) leads national threat monitoring, incident response coordination, and public-private intelligence exchange. Strategic priorities include NIS2 implementation, cloud security governance, and supply-chain risk mitigation across energy, finance, healthcare, and government sectors. Romania remains a frequent target of state-sponsored cyber espionage linked to regional geopolitical dynamics, particularly on NATO's Eastern Flank. Ongoing investments in cyber workforce development, joint exercises, and international cooperation position Romania as an active contributor to collective cyber defense and regional stability.
