Background
Since 2010 ENISA has worked closely with EU telecom security authorities, establishing ECASEC, a working group of experts from national authorities from across the EU, and several EEA, EFTA and EU candidate countries. The goal of the ENISA ECASEC expert group is to discuss and agree on a harmonized approach to telecom security and supervision of the EU’s telecom sector. For more details about ECASEC see ECASEC Expert Group Portal.
The forum is a continuation of a series of meetings, previously called ENISA Article 13a Open Day.
