ENISA Revamps International Cyber Strategy to Strengthen EU’s Global Cybersecurity Posture

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, ENISA, has unveiled a revised International Strategy aimed at deepening global cooperation while reinforcing Europe’s cybersecurity resilience. The updated approach aligns closely with EU international cybersecurity policies, promotes shared EU values, and supports ENISA’s core mission of achieving a high common level of cybersecurity across the Union.

Recognising that cyber threats transcend borders, ENISA will engage internationally where cooperation directly strengthens EU cyber readiness. Executive Director Juhan Lepassaar stated that global partnerships are essential to complement ENISA’s mandate and support EU Member States.

The renewed strategy prioritises collaboration with like-minded partners, including tailored arrangements with countries such as Ukraine and the US, support for EU cyber dialogues with Japan and the UK, and expanded assistance to Western Balkan candidate countries from 2026. It also operationalises the EU Cybersecurity Reserve for select third countries and supports G7 cybersecurity efforts, ensuring Europe remains a credible global cyber leader.
