EU cybersecurity agency lacks funds for research on major tech issues

EurActiv published a feature in July 2015 on the challenges ahead of the European Union regarding information security and a move towards a digitally connected world.

The European Network and Information Security Agency's director Steve Purser stated in an interview that the agency lacked the money and expertise to meet those challenges. ENISA advises European institutions and member states on cybersecurity measures. Since 2010, the agency has organised pan-European cybersecurity exercises, the first effort to bring together all EU countries for an exchange on security measures.
