Increasing cybersecurity capabilities and cooperation.

The aim is to bring cybersecurity capabilities at the same level of development in all the EU Member States and ensure that exchanges of information and cooperation are efficient, including at cross-border level. In this area, the Directive on security of network and information systems (the NIS Directive) is the main instrument supporting Europe's cyber resilience.

New good practice guide by ENISA on disclosing vulnerabilities

ENISA publishes a good practice guide on Vulnerability Disclosure, aiming to provide a picture of the challenges the security researchers, the vendors and other involved stakeholders are confronted with when disclosing software/hardware vulnerabilities. The study gives a glimpse into the complex vulnerability disclosure landscape by taking stock of the current situation, identifying the challenges and good practices and proposes concrete recommendations for improvement.

The main part of the report, describes the main concepts behind vulnerability disclosure along with some figures of the number of vulnerabilities disclosed in the past 13 years.
