The European Union is strengthening its cyber defense by allocating €36 million over three years to its cybersecurity agency ENISA. According to Infosecurity Magazine, the investment will be used to manage incident response through the newly established EU Cybersecurity Reserve. Announced under the EU Cyber Solidarity Act, the reserve will tap private-sector expertise to support member states and Digital Europe Programme countries, including the UK and Ukraine, during major cyber-attacks. ENISA will handle procurement of incident response services, evaluate support requests from national cyber authorities, and forward requests from DEP states to the European Commission. According to ENISA executive director Juhan Lepassaar, the initiative positions the agency as "a dependable partner to the European cybersecurity community" and a driver of a more secure digital single market. ENISA is also preparing a European cybersecurity certification scheme for managed security services, beginning with incident response, with providers required to certify within two years.
