EUs New Cybersecurity Directive Orders States To Set Up Emergency Response Teams, Better Risk Mgmt For Verticals
With hacking and malware on the rise, Europe is cracking down on cybersecurity: today the European Commission, working with the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, is launching a new cybersecurity strategy along with a proposed directive on how to implement it. Among other things, the directive calls for each member state of the EU to set up "CERT"s -- Computer Emergency Response Teams -- to deal with hacking and malware crises, along with plans for how to deal with major incidents; and it wants also to put more pressure on private companies in different vertical sectors like banking to be more forthcoming in reporting major breaches. Points like these could prove to be sensitive issues because of the costs for implementing them; and the potential damage the publicity around breaches could cause for affected organizations.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/Sb2BnH-hh9Y/
