The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has launched an interactive map (ENISA Interactive Map) that tracks cybersecurity initiatives across:
– 31 EU and EFTA countries (excluding the UK and Turkey)
– 408 organizations
– 20 strategic objectives
– 94 strategy documents
This tool is invaluable for professionals monitoring national cybersecurity strategies and international collaborations.
You Should Know: Practical Cybersecurity Mapping & Analysis
1. Extracting Public Cybersecurity Data
Use `curl` and `jq` to fetch and parse ENISA’s API data (if available):
curl -s "https://api.enisa.europa.eu/cyber-map" | jq '.countries[] | {name: .name, objectives: .objectives}'
2. Analyzing National Strategies
Download strategy documents using `wget`:
wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent https://www.enisa.europa.eu/cyber-strategies
3. Mapping Threat Intelligence
Use MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) to correlate ENISA data with local threats:
misp-import -u https://ENISA_Threat_Feed.json -t country_cyber_initiatives
4. Automating Policy Compliance Checks
Run OpenSCAP for compliance against ENISA guidelines:
oscap xccdf eval --profile enisa_cybersecurity_framework /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-eu-cyber.xml
5. Visualizing Cyber Cooperation
Plot collaboration networks with Gephi or Python:
import networkx as nx
G = nx.Graph()
G.add_nodes_from(["CountryA", "CountryB", "ENISA"])
G.add_edges_from([("CountryA", "ENISA"), ("CountryB", "ENISA")])
nx.draw(G, with_labels=True)
What Undercode Say
ENISA’s map is a goldmine for threat intelligence teams. To leverage it:
– Monitor updates with `watch -n 3600 curl -s https://api.enisa.europa.eu/version`.
– Cross-reference with local laws using `grep -r “GDPR” /var/lib/cyber-policies/.inotifywait -m -r /path/to/enisa_downloads`.
- Automate alerts for strategy changes via
For red teams, this map reveals critical infrastructure focus areas. For blue teams, it’s a compliance roadmap.
Prediction
Within 2 years, ENISA will integrate real-time threat feeds, making this tool indispensable for SOCs. Expect API endpoints for automated policy alignment.
