Press Release - European Commission welcomes European Parliament's vote to extend mandate of ENISA and strengthen EU Cybersecurity

The final step after today's vote is the publication of the Regulation in the Official Journal.

ENISA was established in 2004 and started its operations in Crete in 2005. Today, the agency is well established and offers a unique portfolio of cybersecurity services including organising Europe-wide cybersecurity exercises (see IP/12/1062), assisting in the set-up of Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), providing independent analysis of cyber threats, statutory reporting and analysis of major cyber incidents in Europe and advising the private sector on secure business models for IT.

Under the recently proposed EU Cybersecurity Strategy and NIS Directive, ENISA will have a key role in ensuring cybersecurity and establishing Network and Information Security (NIS) standards to support an internationally competitive NIS industry.
