First 2018 meeting of ENISA National Liaison Officers Network

Steve Purser, ENISA’s Head of Core Operations Department, chaired the meeting. ENISA representatives updated the liaison officers on the activities of the NLO network, implementation of the NIS Directive, certification as part of the EU Cybersecurity Act, and national cybersecurity strategies. Several national initiatives were also presented throughout the day, including presentations from Belgium, Poland, Slovakia, and the UK.

For the second part of the meeting, the participants engaged in discussions on the contribution of the Member States to ENISA’s 2018 work programme.

The national liaison officers of ENISA are the liaison between ENISA, the community of network and information security experts and relevant organisations in the EU Member States. They are the facilitators of ENISA’s work in their respective country.

The NLO network is composed of one representative from each EU and EEA Member States. A representative from the European Commission and one from the Council of the European Union are also part of the network.
