Hi All,
Enisa has just published EU CYBERSECURITY INITIATIVES IN THE FINANCE SECTOR
The finance sector is a heavily regulated sector, and cybersecurity provisions are already
included in multiple EU policies and legislation (e.g. PSD 21, MIFID II2). EU institutions,
agencies, bodies, regulators, and other groups of stakeholders run several initiatives dedicated
to improving the cybersecurity of financial entities. This brief document outlines such European
cybersecurity initiatives in the sector and it is a first depiction of the complex landscape of
initiatives related to cybersecurity at an EU level.
SCOPE, TARGET AUDIENCE AND OBJECTIVES
In this document, we have included initiatives of European scope, i.e. ones that are
implemented in at least two EU Member states. This document focusses on financial entities,
EU institutions, bodies, and agencies of the Finance sector, as well as the finance community at
large. The document was created in an effort to shed light on the initiatives and to guide
interested parties in engaging with them and benefit from their produced results. Furthermore, it
aims to make cooperation between the initiatives and their different groups work more
seamlessly. The document may facilitate future assessments on the complementarity, overlaps,
and gaps of the respective initiatives and identify synergies.
