A coordinated security risk assessment is a joint evaluation by different organizations, like the Cooperation Group, European Commission, and ENISA, working together to identify potential dangers in important ICT services, systems, or products used across Europe, considering both technical issues and other factors that might pose risks to security.
The European Commission identifies specific critical technology services, systems, or products that might pose risks, but first it consults with groups like the Cooperation Group, ENISA, and sometimes other important stakeholders to make sure the assessment is focused on the most important and risky areas for Europe’s cybersecurity.
These assessments help countries understand potential weak points in essential tech systems, allowing them to prepare and protect citizens and services from cyber threats; they make Europe’s overall cybersecurity stronger by working together rather than each nation acting alone, reducing vulnerabilities from interconnected ICT supply chains.
The main organizations involved are the Cooperation Group, the European Commission, and ENISA, Europe’s cybersecurity agency, with advice from other relevant stakeholders when needed; they jointly analyze security risks across critical ICT supply chains to keep Europe’s digital infrastructure safer and more reliable.
