EU tightening cyber security

June 16-30, 2011

The European Union (EU) has commenced work on creating a single security team to have better coordination when it comes to response to cyber attacks. The EU has set up a preliminary 10-member group to oversee the effort to set up the EU computer emergency response team (EU-Cert).

The team will provide an overview of security threats to the Parliament, Commission, Council and other EU agencies.

The need for a quick response team gained currency as recently information systems of the European Commission and European Parliament had come under cyber attack. The EU is strengthening its defence to such attacks. The EU computer emergency response pre-configuration team (EU-Cerpct) that is doing the preliminary EU-Cert work will be drawn from the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council, the Committee of the Regions and Economic and Social Committee, and Enisa.
