Industry
ENISA focuses on establishing a high level of cybersecurity across all industry segments, and ensure cybersecurity acts as an enabler for industry to capitalise on as a differentiator factor for products and services.
ENISA's role is to guide experts towards security solutions that are adapted to the needs of the internal market. By encouraging strong cooperation across national borders and across communities, the Agency promotes the development of approaches to security that are not hampered by national restrictions or the ideas of particular communities. This results in solutions that are interoperable across the EU, thereby decreasing costs and enabling EU industry to benefit from a wider market.
Operational Communities
Cyber Crisis Cooperation
ENISA facilitaes cyber crisis coopeartion through targeted activities as seminars, trainings, studies and exercises in IT crisis management. The main studies and seminars include those on contingency planning, crisis management, national risk assessment, and exercise organisation and management. The Cyber Exercise Platform (CEP), is a central hub for cyber security experts to use as the main exercise development tool.
Documentation and training material for Computer Emergency response teams
ENISA operational security training sessions are tailored to advance skills of incident handlers at national level. They help to anticipate, prevent and respond to attacks against core infrastructure of our e-environment. For this, the trainings cover a wide scope from suggesting procedures and best practices for threat prevention to technical analyses of captured malicious code. With the trainings ENISA is not only increasing skills of individual participants but also promoting cooperation, harmonizing security communities and creating confidence in capabilities that countries possess.
Citizens
Awareness on cybersecurity is a horizontal activity for ENISA.
European Cyber Security Month (ECSM)
ENISA together with the European Commission and partners from all over Europe (local authorities, governments, universities, think tanks, NGOs, professional associations) join forces in October each year, through the EU's campaign Cyber Security Month, to promote cybersecurity. To learn more and how to get involved visit the dedicated site www.cybersecmonth.eu
The campaign also has an international reach: discover the U.S. campaign here.
European Cyber Security Challenge
ENISA also supports the European Cyber Security Challenge, an initiative where young cyber talents compete against each other in various disciplines related to IT security. the competition also acts as a platform for the exchange of good practices among contestants, and to motivate young people to enhance and develop further their skills to tackle online threats. The only requirement for participants is that they have not completed any higher education degree in IT security and be aged between 14 and 30 years old.
If you wish to be among the competing teams, countries and organisers are invited to get in touch with ENISA who is organizing this year’s European Cyber Security Challenge.
