Situational awareness

Another open source function that ENISA manages is OpenCSAM, which draws parallels between previous and current incidents via research on historical backgrounds carried out by ENISA and its stakeholders.

• ENISA provides advice and background data to EU Member States on situational and crisis responses undertaken by the CSIRTs and CyCLONe networks.
• This role has effectively made it a go-between for technical and political decision-makers responding to large-scale cross-border EU cyber crises.
• ENISA acts as a repository for historical background data on situational awareness events to ensure the regular trust-building flow of information to crisis units at the Union and national levels.
