ENISA was initially created asan advisory body rather than as a monitoring agency and its unique approach reflects the EU’s shifttowards a more regulatory approach to cyber security problem-solving. This study explores the roleof ENISA in governance and presents the complex concept of observational memory “observation”from a critical perspective. ENISA’s monitoring approach has allowed it to become a new form ofmanagement, with a model reminiscent of vision. This perspective has had a significant impact onthe development of the EU cyber security regime and has challenged the traditional understandingof ENISA as an advisory body on cyber security issues. As the Agency debates the balance betweengovernment and regulation, it continues to re-evaluate its role in the evolving cyber securitylandscape, forcing reflection on its success and events that shed light on cyber security issues.
