After successfully conducting Cyber Europe 2010, ENISA is facilitating the planning process of the 2nd pan-European cyber Exercise.
The evaluation report of Cyber Europe 2010 as well as further policy documents, such as the Digital Agenda, and the Commission Communication on Critical Information Infrastructure Protection – "Achievements and next steps: towards global cyber-security" - COM(2011) 163 states that: “Cyber exercises are an important element of a coherent strategy for cyber incident contingency planning and recovery both at the national and European level. […] Such a plan should provide the baseline mechanisms and procedure for communications between Member States and, last but not least, support the scoping and organization of future pan-European exercises.” and “ENISA will work with Member States on the development of such a European cyber incident contingency plan by 2012. In the same timeframe, all Member States should develop regular national contingency plans and response and recovery exercises.”
Based on the above the Member States will move forward to organise the second pan European Exercise on CIIP. This will be a cyberexercise that will be conducted within 2012.
The exercise will be a more extensive, more sophisticated exercise following up that will be designed based on the experience and the recommendations of Cyber Europe 2010.
The exact scope and extensions of the second pan European exercise are currently under discussion within the exercise community of the Member States in Europe.
The second pan European exercise will be conducted in 2012.
