Cyber Risk Barometer
Super league · Cyber resilience

EU v China v USA

The three biggest blocs on the same measures as every country on the map: our cyber pillars, then Economy, Governance and Education from the Bloch Index. The European Union is its 27 members combined, weighted by population, exactly as the Bloch Index Super League does it. Ordered by the population-weighted cyber resilience rating. First pass: the cyber rating covers 3 of 7 pillars and will move as the rest are scored.

Pillar by pillar

Scores out of 100. The cyber pillars use our own evidence: for a bloc, the share of its people living in a country where the indicator holds. Economy, Governance and Education are the Bloch Index pillar scores, population-weighted for the EU. The bloc leading each pillar is marked.

Indicator by indicator

Cyber rows: the share of each bloc's population covered, with the member count. Bloch Index rows: raw values, with each bloc's percentile score against all 191 countries in brackets; EU figures are population-weighted means of its members. The best value in each row is marked.
