Summary: The new report highlights how cybersecurity spending in the European Union is shifting its focus from people to technology, due to a shortage of specialised talent and the regulatory pressure of measures such as NIS2. This evolution also affects the ability to prevent digital scams, phishing and financial fraud through automated techniques.

Practical context: Lower investment in security awareness and training can leave users less prepared to recognise phishing, malware or fake brokers, increasing the risk of falling victim to scams.
