agree on 2019 roadmap
/////////////////////////////
F
our leading European cybersecurity
organisations have agreed on a
roadmap for 2019. On November 6,
following a meeting at working level, the
four principals of the Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) between Europol, the
European Union Agency for Network and
Information Security (ENISA), the European
Defence Agency (EDA) and the Computer
Emergency Response Team for the EU
Institutions, Agencies and Bodies (CERT-EU),
met at CERT-EU’s premises.
The purpose of the meeting was to update
each other on relevant developments and
assess the progress made under the MoU,

which provides a cooperation framework
aiming at leveraging synergies between the
four organisations to achieve a safe and
open cyberspace.
The four partners also agreed on a roadmap
prepared by the MoU working group
with concrete activities and deliverables
throughout 2019.
The initial focus will be on working closer in
the areas of training and cyber-exercises,
building the cooperation capacity and
the improved exchange of information on
respective projects and events with a view to
complementing the work of the four partners
and avoiding the duplication of efforts.
The principals agreed that this was a major
milestone in entering a new era of working
together and an important first step in putting
the cooperation framework into practice.
Steven Wilson, Head of Europol’s European
Cybercrime Centre (EC3), commented: “This
meeting was an excellent opportunity for us
to take stock of what we have achieved so
far in the framework of our joint MoU and
to agree on a roadmap of concrete joint
activities and deliverables for 2019 and
beyond. We look forward to working with
our MoU partners in making the Internet a
safer place.” n
