ENISA NIS is people
Networks, people and technology
In the 21st century, we
take for granted innovations such as mobile phones, computers, the
Internet, on-line banking, e-Health and e-Commerce. The Internet has
become indispensable for individuals at work, at home and in doing
business. Network and Information Security (NIS) is therefore
crucial for businesses and home-users alike.
NIS for Europes economy
Communication networks and
information systems are critical for the European digital economy
and business both today and increasingly for tomorrow. There are
millions of e-mails and transactions every day. As networks grow
more complex, they also become more vulnerable. Security breaches
can generate substantial economic damage. The European Network and
Information Security Agency (ENISA) is the European Union (EU)s
response to NIS challenges, especially as they affect the EUs
economy.
Expertise and Excellence in NIS
ENISAs role is to be
an expert body and a Centre of Excellence in NIS. Its mission is to
facilitate and support the Members States in enhancing the level of
NIS in Europe.
As such, the Agencys role includes:
Giving independent,
expert advice to the EU, as the first step towards the drafting of
legislation
Responding to requests from Member States and the
EU
Collecting and analysing data on security incidents and
emerging risks
Promoting best practices in e.g. risk assessment
& risk management, awareness raising and computer security
incident response
