Europe

The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) serves as a center of expertise and excellence for both member states and EU institutions related to network and information security. There are some major notable initiatives, such as the Annual Privacy Forum (APF), ENISA Threat Landscape (ETL), and Cyber Europe—a pan-European exercise to protect the EU against coordinated cyberattacks.
