Network and information security agency for the EU

OUT-LAW News, 21/11/2003

European telecoms ministers yesterday agreed to set up a body to form a European-wide strategy and act as a knowledge centre on issues of network and information security. It will work with the private sector in areas of risk assessment and risk management.

Dubbed the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA), the European Commission says it will represent the first systematic cross-border co-operation and information exchange between the EU Member States.

Its tasks will include advising Member States and the Commission on security issues and raise awareness of the issues among individuals and businesses.

ENISA is expected to start operations at the beginning of 2004, and will be based temporarily in Brussels.
