European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA)

Operative networks contribute to the smooth functioning of the Internal Market, and concretely affect the daily lives of the citizens and business alike, using broadband, online banking, ecommerce, and mobile phones. Therefore, the Agency's Mission is essential to achieve a high and effective level of Network and Information Security within the European Union. Together with the EU-institutions and the Member States, ENISA seeks to develop a culture of Network and Information Security for the benefit of citizens, consumers, business and public sector organisations in the European Union. ENISA is helping the European Commission, the Member States and the business community to address, respond and especially to prevent Network and Information Security problems. ENISA is as a body of expertise, set up by the EU to carry out very specific technical, scientific tasks in the field of Information Security, working as a "European Community Agency". The Agency also assists the European Commission in the technical preparatory work for updating and developing Community legislation in the field of Network and Information Security.
