The purpose of the association is to provide a platform which enables the European Institutions and the European security industry, research centers, universities, local clusters and associations to collaborate and exchange ideas and best practices. The EOS was created in 2007 by European private sector providers. Its members represent all relevant domains of the economy (information and communication technologies, civil security, energy, transport, finance, services and research) across 15 European countries.
As a major stakeholder in the German and European cyber security industry, secunet is actively involved in a number of associations and committees. For example, Gerd Müller, as a representative of TeleTrusT – IT Security Association Germany, also holds the position of Vice Chairman of the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) which has been founded in 2016.
