PESTEL analysis of the European cybersecurity sector

A structured PESTEL analysis of the European cybersecurity sector, examining political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental drivers across both civilian and defence dimensions.

Cybersecurity policy is usually discussed one dimension at a time — a new regulation here, a market trend there. This report puts the six dimensions side by side so decision-makers can see how, for instance, the Cyber Resilience Act, skills shortages and dual-use export rules interact. It is meant as a working document for impact assessments, market studies and strategic roadmaps rather than a one-off academic snapshot.
