EU Minister’s Informal Justice & Home Affairs Ministers’ meeting, Vilnius 18-19/07

In brief, the discussion focussed on A) How JHA actors were contributing both domestically and in a multinational environment, to achieve synergies and to strengthen cooperation for better prevention and more targeted response to cyber incidents.

• Opportunities and mutual benefits for the JHA community to work with ENISA
• Pan European cyber security exercises and cooperation with Computer Emergency Response Teams, (CERT)s, where ENISA is uniquely positioned to be a “broker” of good practices across Europe, both in supporting training and build-up of CERTs, and in conducting Cyber Europe 2010, Cyber Atlantic 2011, and Cyber Europe 2012.
