WithSecure and ENISA join forces to strengthen Europe’s cyber defenses

The CPP itself has three main objectives:

• to enhance preparedness and effective incident response and cooperation amongst Member States and EU institutions, including cooperation of technical, operational and political actors during incidents or crises;
• to achieve common situational awareness before and during cyber incidents and crises across the Union;
• to support information exchange and cooperation, cross-layer and cross-border between Member States and as well as with EU institutions.

“We offer an EU-focused perspective in our contributions to ENISA, helping to keep them informed on the wider threat landscape and cybersecurity trends,” says Stephen Robinson, Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst at WithSecure, of the project.

By attending regular meetings, we’re able to offer crucial and critical insight gained through our constant research on what ENISA – and, by extention, the wider European Union – is looking into at any specific time. This data allows them to shape their preparedness and incident response capaibilities, particularly in these uncertain times.

“We bring our intelligence and analysis to aid ENISA – and, by extension, the EU Parliament – in their understanding of the current threats and threat landscape, as well as threats against EU member States. As a result, we're contributing to cyber security policy and essentially helping to shape the future of cyber security and cyberspace in the EU,” Robinson concludes.

This partnership further strengthens our position as a leading European cyber security provider and we appreciate the faith in both our people and expertise that the EU has shown during our collaboration to date.
