Enisa

Enisa is the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity that supports policy development, provides independent advisory services, and strengthens cyber capabilities across the region from its headquarters in Athens, Greece. Operating as a bridge between the public and private sectors, the agency assists EU Member States, institutions, and stakeholders within the Digital Single Market in enhancing network and information security. The organization operates under a multi-annual Single Programming Document for 2024-2026 to address escalating threats such as ransomware, distributed denial-of-service attacks, and information manipulation. Following the passage of the EU Cybersecurity Act in 2019, the agency received a permanent mandate and has been guided by notable figures including current Executive Director Juhan Lepassaar, former director Udo Helmbrecht, and European Commissioner Mariya Gabriel. Enisa was founded in 2004 by the European Union under Regulation No 460/2004.
