European Month of Network and Information Security for All

Overview

As part of its ongoing awareness raising mission, ENISA was involved in assessing the establishment and organisation of a European Month of Network and Information Security for All.

This concept was inspired by similar projects that were held successfully in other places of the world for some years now. The particularities of the European territory compared to other areas in the world suggest that a significant amount of effort will be required in order for this idea to deliver its full potential across Europe. To this effect, one of the most critical elements for the success of this activity would be to develop an effective structure and coordination scheme among participating entities.

To this end, ENISA was asked to carry out a feasibility study by examining the possible implementation of such a campaign in addition to an overview of the prevailing elements of security days/weeks organised at national level across Europe. 

This project was in line with the Awareness Raising workstream of the EU-U.S. Working Group on Cyber-security and Cyber-crime established in the context of the EU-U.S. summit of 20 November 2010 held in Lisbon.
