The European Cybersecurity Month (ECSM) begins in all EU Member States. The campaign aims to raise awareness of cyber threats and raise the awareness of European citizens and organizations on cybersecurity issues through education and sharing of good practices.

The team that will represent Romania to the European Cyber Security Challenge 2019 (ECSC) was selected at the end of last week, after a boot camp in Bran, the Romanian National Computer Security Incident Response Team (CERT-RO) announced on its Facebook page.

Today, the cyber security act in the EU enters into force. The European Cyber ​​Security Agency (ENISA) will have new tasks for the first time, Maria Gabriel, Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, told the Bulgarian National Radio.

The European Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA), the European Union agency for cybersecurity headquartered at Iraklio in Crete, is celebrating its 15th anniversary on Tuesday.
Since 2004, ENISA has contributed to shaping the EU's response to the growing cyber-threats in the bloc.

With Bulgaria's Minister for Information Technology and Communications Ivaylo Moskovski as chair, the telecommunications ministers of the EU Member States today confirmed their position on draft EU rules to ensure that products and services in the digital world are safe to use.

The EU is to enhance its cyber resilience by setting up an EU-wide certification framework for information and communication technology (ICT) products, services and processes. The industry could use the new mechanism to certify products such as connected cars and smart medical devices. The Council today agreed its general approach on the proposal, known as the Cybersecurity Act.

More than 900 European cyber security experts representing 300 agencies and organizations took part this week in 'Cyber Europe 2018,' a 48-hour exercise hosted by the local branch of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) in Maroussi, northern Athens.

We need cybersecurity specialists to offer a perspective. This was stated by EU Commissioner for Digitization Maria Gabriel at a press conference on which the European Commission presented its idea of ​​establishing a European Network and Information Security Agency.
