ENISA's National Liaison Officers (NLO) met in Athens on 13th February, with 17 participants from EU Member States coming together to discuss collaboration with the Agency.
Although not formally based on ENISA's founding Regulation, the NLO network is of great value to ENISA as a key point of reference with the Member States on NIS-issues. ENISA also gains access to a network of national contacts through individual NLOs, reinforcing the dissemination of ENISA’s work.
The meeting was of high value for all, since possible ways of collaboration and dissemination for ENISA's Work Programme 2013 were discussed. A comprehensive debate followed, looking at different cyber security strategies and baseline capabilities of national and governmental Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) in the Member States, as well as discussing personal data protection, electronic identification and trusted services for electronic transactions.
