Welcome to ENISA’s Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP) and Resilience Unit.
The Unit is responsible for assisting competent national EU agencies, private sector and EU Commission to develop sound and implementable preparedness, response and recovery strategies, policies and measures that fully meet the emerging threats critical information infrastructures face today.
