Euro Security Initiatives Proposed
The European Commission today issued a report that calls for greater education on IT security, and the creation of a common framework for collecting incident data. The commission calls for a cross-border effort to educate users about security and to unify disjointed national efforts to track exploits. The EC also proposes to benchmark security-related policies and practices among its member nations, “to help identify the most effective practices so they can be deployed wherever possible on a broader basis throughout the EU.”
The report calls for the EC’s European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) “to study the feasibility of a European information sharing and alert system to facilitate effective responses to existing and emerging threats to electronic networks.” Such a system would require the creation of a multilingual EU portal to provide detailed information on threats, risks, and alerts, the commission said.
Another proposal calls for businesses, users and government agencies to hold a “multi-stakeholder debate” on the balance between security and privacy, including the implications of RFID technology on end user privacy.
