Udo Helmbrecht meets MEP Ms Kaili, Mr Tzortzis, and new MB member Mr Vatikiotis

The Executive Director Udo Helmbrecht welcomed today 15^th May, 2015 at ENISA’s Athens premises, Greek MEP, Ms Eva Kaili, the new Secretary General of Communications Mr Dimitris Tzortzis of the Ministry of Economy, Infrastructure, Shipping and Tourism, and the new ENISA Management Board Member Mr Vatikiotis.

Items discussed on the agenda included areas of ENISA’s work on secure and smart infrastructures, (including internet infrastructures), cloud computing (in the public sector and for SMEs), incident reporting for the Telecom sector (NIS directive, eIDAS), ENISA’s perspective on data protection and privacy technologies. The Agency’s contribution to National Cyber Security Strategies development in the Member States was also presented along with its work on building CERT teams in Europe, the organisation of the pan-European cyber exercises and its collaboration with EC3 Europol unit on common topics.

The Executive Director Udo Helmbrecht said: “Today we had the opportunity to meet with Ms Kaili, Mr Tzortis and Mr Vatikiotis and present ENISA’s work on cyber security for Europe. It was particularly interesting to discuss current topics especially after the European Commission’s announcement on the initiatives for the Digital Single Market which resonate with ENISA’s areas of operation. It offered us the opportunity to demonstrate how ENISA actively contributes concretely over a decade now to the EU’s internal market and growth through its activities with the Member States, the public and the private sector, and its contribution to effective policy implementation. I am confident we are going to have a fruitful collaboration, which we will build upon after today, to deliver the best for EU citizens and industry”.
