State of Cybersecurity in the Union - Panel Series

As part of its mandate under Article 18 of the NIS 2 Directive, ENISA publishes a biennial Report on the State of Cybersecurity in the Union, with the first edition released in December 2024. This report offers key insights and six policy recommendations addressing critical areas, including policy implementation, cyber crisis management, supply chain security, skills development, cybersecurity awareness, and cyber hygiene.

To drive ongoing discussion and action on these recommendations, ENISA is organizing a series of expert panels at major cybersecurity conferences. Each panel will focus on one of the six recommendations, fostering dialogue among industry leaders, policymakers, and researchers.

Following each panel, ENISA will publish expert perspectives—concise summaries capturing the key takeaways and discussions from these sessions.

Stay tuned for more details on upcoming panels and publications.
