EU cyber scores look healthy, but 45% of surveyed IT providers take months to patch - Help Net Security
Forty-five percent of surveyed IT service management providers in the EU took more than three months to apply critical patches to critical systems, according to ENISA’s 2026 assessment of cybersecurity in the Union. Attackers can turn a newly disclosed flaw into a working attack within days, and sometimes within hours or minutes.
Those providers run systems for other organizations, so a slow patch at one becomes exposure for the customers that depend on it, and 43% of them ran no cybersecurity assessment over a full year. ENISA kept the EU’s cyber threat level at substantial for the two years to July 2026, unchanged from its previous assessment. Frontier AI will cut vulnerability discovery from days to hours, and a provider on a three-month patch cycle is counting in quarters while attackers count in days.
