• Further efforts are needed and the EC calls upon
MS to commit to:
Enhance EU preparedness by establishing a network of well-functioning
National/Governmental CERTs by 2012;

cyber exercises by 2012;
European coordinated efforts in
international fora and discussions on enhancing Internet security and resilience.

CIIP COM(2011)163
“Achievements and next steps: towards global cybersecurity” – The way forward 2/2
Global coordination is important and necessary
The Commission will:
• Promote principles for Internet resilience and stability * developed within the EFMS;
• Build strategic international partnerships (e.g.
EU-US Working Group on Cyber-security and
Cyber-crime) and pursue coordination in
International fora
• Develop trust in the cloud

Commission Work Programme 2012 announced a
European Strategy for Internet Security to be adopted by Commission in Q3 2012
Outline
1. Policy Document
• Context – EU activities and achievements to date and the need for EU action
• Objectives of the ESIS and EU core values and principles
• Strategic priorities and actions
• Governance framework and monitoring of the implementation of the strategy
2. Legal instrument

European Strategy for Internet Security
Strategic objective:
“To ensure a safe, secure and resilient digital environment to all EU citizens, businesses and public authorities”
Specific objectives:
• Foster close co-operation and early warning between MS' competent authorities, and between competent authorities and the private sector, by ensuring adequate capacities for prevention, detection, mitigation and response at national and EU level
• Stimulate efforts to improve security of in products, networks and services
• Ensure a strong EU response to cybercrime
• Stimulate R&D investments and strengthen the competitiveness of
EU’s security industry
• Foster global responses and reinforce cooperation with international partners

Elements of the future
European Strategy for Internet Security (1/4)
Preliminary ideas for legal measures aiming at ensuring the establishment of:
• An effective network of National competent bodies and
Governmental CERTs at EU level (with the necessary protection of confidentiality)
• Well-functioning National/Governmental CERTs capabilities
• A " European Forum for Regulators ” (towards a model for pan-EU cooperation mechanisms – similarly to what is in place in other sectors)
• A European cyber-incident contingency plan
• General security breach notification obligation (extending Article
13a FD beyond Telcos/ISPs)
− Adoption of a risk management framework (identification of risks)
− Adoption of relevant security measures
− Supervision by competent bodies (including via audit)
− Notification mechanisms to competent bodies (possibly via CERT function) ensuring confidentiality
• Mandatory security audits and authorisation mechanisms where this is already required by applicable law (e.g. banking, energy…)

Elements of the future
European Strategy for Internet Security (2/4)
Preliminary ideas for further measures to improve security in networks and services:
• Incentives for the private sector to improve security in products and services, e.g. through IT security standards in public procurement
− Incentives through the public procurement process (via guidelines and standards)
− Stimulating a public-private partnership to reduce the spread of malware
− Promotion of transparency and competitiveness in the internal market
(benchmarks, trusted data on incidents and vulnerabilities, information to users, compliance with standards, certification and self-certification to develop reassurance market)
− Security of supply chain
• Awareness raising measures and activities
− Mobilisation of Member States and stakeholders towards a EU-wide campaign
(for instance, a month for Network and Information Security for all)
− National/European Cyber-security Competitions to foster development of skills
− International synchronisation and coordination of awareness raising messages and campaigns (US and Japan)
− Reinforced role of ENISA in promoting standards, good practices and a risk management culture

Elements of the future
European Strategy for Internet Security (3/4)
Preliminary ideas for further measures to improve security in networks and services:
• Making the best use of research and innovation and putting in place a robust industrial policy
• Adoption of state-of-the-art technologies & processes - Promote take up
− stimulate private and public demand (security to be an integral part of the provision of e-services, mandatory for eGov, pre-commercial procurement)
− develop standards
− improve usability
• Reinforcing and coordinating R&D for present and future security challenges
− H2020 LEIT = 450 M€ for R&D => make the technologies available
− H2020 IIS = 700 M€ for Innovation => put technology to work
− Underpin the technical feasibility of the cyber security policy and associated actions
− Create partnerships in cyber-security

Elements of the future
European Strategy for Internet Security (4/4)
Preliminary ideas for further measures to improve security in networks and services:
• Appropriate measures in the area of cybercrime (in cooperation with DG HOME)
• Putting the EU in the lead of international discussions on Internet security matters
- Promotion and engagement in multilateral cooperation
- Leveraging EU-US activities towards broader international participation
- Fighting Botnets
- Cyber-security of Industrial Control Systems and Smart grids
Promotion of EU interests in global Internet security
- Multi-stakeholder governance
- Market access
- European principles and guidelines for Internet resilience and stability
- COMPACT for the Internet

European Strategy for Internet Security
Consultation process

• Within EP (Roundtable on 30.11.2011; ITRE draft report on Critical Information Infrastructure Protection)
• With MS via EFMS (on 7.12.2011) – input received from
10 MSs
• With private sector via EP3R (on 16.02.2012)
• Informal discussions with MS and private stakeholders
 General support for a EU framework and mechanisms to further enhance cooperation and coordination
