The European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA), an advisory body for Member States and EU institutions on matters of network and information security based in Crete, has completed its first year of operation.

Among other things, the Agency's activities include providing advice on handling security problems with hardware and software products and promoting methods for assessing and managing related risks. Moreover, ENISA collects and analyses data on security incidents in Europe, monitors the development of product and service standards in the network and information community, encourages the exchange and dissemination of best practices and facilitates communication between European organisations, Member States, private businesses and industry.

To date, ENISA employees have participated in 300 missions outside Greece and have organised a significant number of international and European meetings in Crete.
