CyberSecure Kosovo: Strengthening Cyber Resilience in Media and Civil Society

This report presents the findings, interventions, and policy recommendations from the CyberSecure Kosovo project, an initiative led by Open Data Kosovo and ARCUS, with support from the e-Governance Academy (eGA) through the EU-funded KnowCyber Grants for the Western Balkans.

Over a six-month period, the project assessed and supported 10 media outlets and civil society organizations across Kosovo, using a comprehensive 11-domain cybersecurity framework. The report highlights the critical cybersecurity gaps in the sector, shares practical case studies, and proposes a clear roadmap for resilience—ranging from technical improvements and policy development to awareness training and systemic reform.

Key features:

• Baseline vs. post-intervention cybersecurity scores
• Common vulnerabilities and real-world incidents
• Tailored support approaches and impact
• Actionable policy and investment recommendations

This publication serves as both a diagnostic and a call to action for strengthening the digital foundations of Kosovo’s democratic institutions.
