| CORDIS Security Research Preparatory Action |
CORDIS, the European Community's Research and Development Information
Service, has launched a new service on security research. The creation
of a Security Research Preparatory Action was proposed by the European
Commission in February 2004 in its communication 'Towards a programme to
advance European security through research and technology'. The main aim
of this communication is 'to assess the need for a further initiative
that will complement and liaise with existing and future
intergovernmental schemes; be open to all members and operate on the
basis of Community principles; and contribute to bridging the current
gap between generic civil research (as supported by EC Framework
Programmes) and national and intergovernmental programmes oriented to
defence procurement needs.'
Developments relating to the communication can be followed on the new
site. Through its daily news service, CORDIS has been closely following
the security research issue and reporting on all major contributions and
events. |
| Deutschland sicher im Netz |
Kennen Sie alle Hintergründe der Online-Kriminalität? Ihr Computer mit all Ihren persönlichen Daten gehört schließlich ebenso zu Ihrer Privatsphäre wie etwa Ihr Wohnzimmer oder Büro - allerdings mit sehr viel mehr Türen und Fenstern, von denen Sie vielleicht gar nicht wussten, dass es sie gibt. Und es ist durchaus möglich, dass einige davon gerade jetzt, während Sie diese Zeilen lesen, weit offen stehen.
Mit das Initiative "Deutschland sicher im Netz" wollen wir Sie aktiv dabei unterstützen, zielgerichtet gegen diese digitalen Sicherheitslücken vorzugehen. Systematisch, verlässlich und dauerhaft. Durch richtiges Verhalten, die richtigen Technologien und die richtigen Informationen. Ganz gleich, ob Sie nun Privatnutzer, Eltern, Pädagogen oder ein kleines und mittelständisches Unternehmen bzw. Behörde oder Institution sind: Nehmen Sie sich einige Minuten Zeit für die Informationen, Tipps und Sicherheits-Checklisten, die wir auf diesem Portal für Sie zusammengestellt haben. |

| ENISA, European Network and Information Security Agency |
Network and information security can be viewed from various standpoints. These include their technical robustness, the ways in which businesses and citizens use them, and how their use is governed. Challenges to network and information security are manifold and Internet security is at the heart of the discussion.
Whereas, only a couple of years ago, governments regarded security – including network and information security – as purely a national domain, security has now entered the political mainstream of the European Union’s activities.
As information flows freely across national borders, so do network and information security problems. The security policy issues faced by all countries are therefore essentially the same. However, individual EU Member States have taken varying approaches to them and are at very different stages in their work.
The need to get the solutions right justifies the joint decision by the European Parliament and the Council to create a centre of expertise at European level, providing guidance and, when called upon, assistance to the European Parliament, Commission and any competent body appointed by Member States.
The challenge for ENISA is to help achieve high EU-wide level of security in electronic communications, and to build the “culture of security” necessary for the single market to deliver its full benefits to European citizens, consumers, enterprises and public sector bodies. This culture should combine the rapid and effective take-up of technical innovation with good security practices.
Among its activities, the Agency should pay particular attention to small and medium-sized enterprises and ultimately serve as a centre of expertise where Member States, EU institutions and industry can seek advice on network and information security matters.
ENISA’s independence will help promote trust and favour the direct involvement of industry, in both identifying and solving security problems in Europe.

| European Security Research |
One of the fundamental roles of government is to help ensure the security of its citizens. Studies show the threat of terrorism, organised crime, and natural disasters are among Europeans’ worst fears. Making Europe more secure for its citizens while increasing its industrial competitiveness is the goal of European Security Research. By co-operating and coordinating efforts on a Europe-wide scale, the EU can better understand and respond to risks in a constantly changing world.
This website has been created to keep users up to date on European Commission activities and initiatives in this important domain. |

Background information (in Dutch):
"Door het kabinet is juli 2001 de nota kwetsbaarheid op internet (KWINT) naar de Tweede Kamer gestuurd. In deze nota wordt een beeld geschetst van wat de overheid wil doen aan het verminderen van de kwetsbaarheid van internet. In de nota wordt eveneens aangegeven dat internetgebruikers zelf ook belangrijke maatregelen kunnen nemen om de risico's van internetgebruik te minimaliseren. Dit gegeven vormt de aanleiding voor deze bewustwordings- en voorlichtingscampagne.
[...]
De campagne is geïnitieerd door de ministeries van Economische Zaken en Verkeer en Waterstaat. De uitwerking van de campagne is door middel van een nauwe samenwerking tussen overheid, gebruikersorganisaties en bedrijfsleven tot stand gekomen." |
