International Cooperation

In brief

ENISA explains that the agency’s international cooperation work is aimed at strengthening cybersecurity beyond the EU’s borders by building structured relationships with trusted international partners and multilateral bodies. It says ENISA supports the external dimension of EU cybersecurity policy by engaging with organizations and countries that share common interests in cyber resilience, standards, capacity building, and operational cooperation. The page highlights collaboration with entities such as EU institutions, Member States, and international organizations including NATO, the OECD, the OSCE, and others, presenting this work as a way to promote a more coherent and secure global cyber environment. ENISA’s role is not described as purely diplomatic; rather, it is positioned as technical and strategic support for the EU’s wider external cybersecurity objectives.

The page also emphasizes that this cooperation takes several forms, including information exchange, joint events, expert dialogue, policy support, and participation in international initiatives and capacity-building efforts. In practice, ENISA presents itself as helping transfer European cybersecurity expertise outward while also ensuring that the EU remains connected to international best practices and discussions on emerging cyber risks. The broader message is that cybersecurity is treated as an inherently cross-border issue, so protecting Europe requires active engagement with partners outside the Union as well as coordination inside it. The page therefore frames international cooperation as a core part of ENISA’s mission to support both EU resilience and a more stable global cybersecurity landscape.
