ENISA PUBLISHES ITS REPORT ON TELECOM SECURITY DURING COVID-19

1.12.2020

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (“ENISA”) has published, on its website, its “Telecom Security During a Pandemic” report at the 32nd meeting of EU telecom security authorities.

The Report which is to give an overview of initiatives and good practices in the telecom sector to mitigate the impact of the pandemic, highlights the resiliency of telecom networks and services that sustained major fluctuations in usage and traffic. Besides, the need for increased cooperation between the public and private sectors is addressed in the Report.

According to the Report, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered major changes in the use of telecom networks and services: employees are teleworking; students are learning online; people are communicating via video. The pandemic put the telecom sector to the test with traffic peaks and spikes, combined with a national crisis and difficult working circumstances.

Lastly, as early response phase, from initial strain to the new normal and response by the national authorities and collaboration with the telecom sector, the Report is divided in three parts.
