Slovakia — Cyber Threat Profile
Slovakia operates SK-CERT as its National Cyber Security Centre under the National Security Authority, participating actively in NATO and ENISA exercises including Locked Shields and Cyber Europe. The country's 2021 to 2025 National Cybersecurity Strategy is due for renewal. Despite functional institutional structures, a 2025 public survey found that 66% of Slovak residents reuse passwords, parental controls are declining, and public cyber awareness is below EU peer standards. SK-CERT has flagged active threats from DPRK-linked group Kimsuky conducting spearphishing campaigns impersonating journalists. Multiple large-scale ransomware attacks hit Slovak organizations during 2025.- National CERT/CSIRT: SK-CERT
