On
29 January a delegation of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of
Excellence paid a visit to eu-LISA’s seat in
Tallinn.
The
meeting was about firming up actions of common interest, renewing our efforts
towards closer cooperation and stepping up collaboration to a more practical
level.
eu-LISA
gave an overview of the on-going activities and key projects, focusing on the
evolution of the three large-scale IT systems (Schengen Information System, Visa Information System and
Eurodac) and the Agency’s contribution to combating foreign terrorist
fighters, tackling irregular migration and providing support to the relevant
registration procedures at national level.
The
two organisations agreed to proceed with
cooperation on the topics of training, exchange of the best practices in
cybersecurity and exchanging findings of the monitoring of relevant research
initiatives.
It
was proposed to identify the areas where
practical collaboration could be developed, in particular, by enhancing expert
level cooperation in the areas of common interest and identifying specific
analytical products and expertise to be
shared within the limits of the mandates of the organisations.
The
Directors agreed on particular actions that would further develop the bilateral
cooperation, i.e. carrying out a mapping exercise and appointing mutual contact
points.
