Abstract: The article analyses the political changes that have occurred since 2022 in the area of security and digital policy pursued by the Visegrád Group (V4) countries. By describing and analysing the main factors influencing the development of cyber potential and the political priorities outlined in strategic documents and V4 presidency programs, the study attempts to determine the positions of individual V4 members regarding digital policy. The comparative analysis allows the identification of conditions that may foster either integrative or disintegrative processes in the Central and Eastern European region.
