Abstrakt: The paper aims to investigate the relationship between economic innovativeness and cybersecurity performance in the context of Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs). Using a panel dataset for eleven CEECs over the 2014–2024 period, the empirical approach combines the Global Cybersecurity Index by the International Telecommunication Union, the European Innovation Scoreboard Summary Innovation Index, and an originally developed composite ICT Innovation Performance Index based on patent activity, R&D sector performance, and firm-level innovation metrics. The model is estimated using a Tobit regression with random effects, controlling for GDP per capita and tertiary education attainment. The results support the developed hypotheses, suggesting that general innovativeness is negatively associated with cybersecurity performance, whereas ICT-sector-specific innovation performance improves national cybersecurity resilience. These findings offer relevant implications for the innovation policies and digitalisation strategies of CEECs. In this light, innovation policy should prioritise investments in cybersecurity R&D and cross-sectoral technology transfer mechanisms that strengthen digital resilience. As digital transformation accelerates, these policy dimensions become not only complementary but also essential for sustainable, innovation-led growth in the region.
