Security and Resilience of ICT Infrastructures and Networks

This paper discusses the EU's perspective on the security and resilience of ICT infrastructures and networks. It examines policy initiatives, dialogue and partnerships, and the empowerment of all actors involved in creating a secure information society. It also highlights the challenges in critical information infrastructure protection (CIIP) and the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP).

  1. Security and Resilience of ICT Infrastructures and NetworksAn EU Perspective 14 Mar, 2008 – GMU Arlington Jacques Bus, Head of Unit DG Information Society and Media

  2. Content • Policy activities • R&D activities • Future challenges • International cooperation

  3. Network and information security:The European Policy Context • Strategy for a Secure Information Society [COM(2006)251] • Policy initiatives on: • fighting against spam, spyware and malware [COM(2006)688] • promoting data protection by PET [COM(2007)228] • fighting against cyber crime [COM(2007)267] • Proposed package to reform the Regulatory Framework for e-communications [COM(2007)697, COM(2007)698, COM(2007) 699] • European Network and Information Security Agency, (ENISA) established in 2004 • A policy initiative on CIIP is announcedfor 2008 [COM(2007) 640]

  4. PARTNERSHIPgreater awareness &better understandingof the challenges DIALOGUEstructured and multi-stakeholder Open & inclusivemulti-stakeholderdebate EMPOWERMENTcommitment to responsibilitiesof all actors involved Towards a secure Information Society

  5. Empowerment:invitation to private sector to • Develop definition of responsibilities for software producers and Internet service providersfor the provision of adequate and auditable levels of security. Need support for standardised processes meeting commonly agreed security standards and best practice rules. • Promote diversity, openness, interoperability, usability and competition as key drivers for security; stimulate deployment of security-enhancing products, processes and services to prevent and fight ID theft and other privacy-intrusive attacks. • Disseminate good security practicesfor network operators, service providers and SMEsas baseline levels for security and business continuity.

  6. Empowerment:invitation to private sector to • Promote training programmes in business, i. p. for SMEs, to provide employees with the knowledge and skills for effective implementation of security practices. • Affordable security certification schemes for products, processes and services that will address EU-specific needs (in particular with respect to privacy). • Involve insurance sector in developing appropriate risk management tools and methods to tackle ICT-related risks and foster a culture of risk management in organisations and business (in particular in SMEs).

  7. EMPOWERMENT: NIS in the new EC Telecom package • Security and integrity • Current framework (Art 23 Univ. Service Directive) • telephone network / fixed location • New proposal (Art 13 Framework Directive) • level of security appropriate to risks • prevent or minimise impact of security incidents on users and interconnected networks • focus on continuity of supply of services • Responsibilities of operators • stronger obligations to ensure security and integrity (Art 13 Framework Directive) • Mandatory breach notification • to NRA (art 13 FWD): significant impact on operation • to consumers and NRA (art 4 e-privacy D): personal data compromised

  8. Dialogue & Partnership:EC 2008 Policy initiative on CIIP • Objectives • Enhance the level of Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP) preparedness and response across the EU • Ensure that adequate and consistent levels of preventive, detection, emergency and recovery measures are put in operation • Approach • Build on national and private sector initiatives • Engage relevant public and private stakeholders • Adopt All-hazards • Strengthen the synergies between 1st and 3rd pillar measures

  9. Dialogue & Partnership: Challenges for CIIP • Organisational:build trusted relationships and engage the stakeholders at the EU level • Policy orientations:achieve a better understanding and clarity on the guiding policy principles • Issues: • National vs. European information Infrastructures (criteria); • long-term Internet stability & resilience; • preventive, detection/early warning & responsive measures; • recovery and continuity strategies; • sharing knowledge and good practices; • cross-sectors proactive information assurance methods; • risk management culture and tools; • inter-dependencies, in particular across heterogeneous infrastructures; etc.

  26. Complexity and interdependencies The future Internet as a large collection of heterogeneous networks; Internet of things “The Internet is broken” Critical infrastructures being interdependent and controlled through vulnerable networks Service architectures and infra- structures need security and trust designed-in

  27. Data Collection and its dangers for business, to provide personalized innovative applications and services for citizens, to better communicate and interact, improve the quality of their life for governments to service citizens and business (e-government, e-education or e-health) for governments again, to provide public security (protection against crime or terrorism, border-control, protection of critical infrastructures, etc.) What about: security, proportionality, user-centricity

  28. Content • Policy activities • R&D activities • Future challenges • International cooperation

  29. International CooperationOngoing activities • S&T Agreement between NSF and EU FP-RTD, within this framework we organised jointly: • Seminar Dublin (Nov 2006) • Seminar Illinois (Apr 2007) • Coordination Action INCO-Trust • Ongoing discussions with US-DHS and EU Security and ICT programmes • Cooperation between EU initiative on Future Internet and GENI/FIND (US), AKARE (JP) • Trans-Atlantic Business Dialogue exist, as well as EU-US dialogue on Security and on the Information Society, as frameworks for decisions on joint actions.

  30. International CooperationWhy , What WHY • Activities intrinsically cross border • Attackers leverage power of laundering traffic internationally • Internet facilitates international “underground economy” • Nation-state cyberwarfare ? WHAT • International coordination • Sharing information via distributed sensors • Cooperation in research for common goal

  31. International CooperationMutual Interest; Proposal US side • NSTAC international R&D exchange • Fed Interagency Committee Cyber R&D Plan • GMU International Cyber Centre EU side • EU policy actions: Secure Information Society, EPCIP (see above) • EU research programmes (see above) • ENISA, and new Telecom package proposal An International Forum on Network and Information Security where policy makers from US and EU administrations would yearly meet high level research managers to discuss issues of common interest ?? Within the international context (OECD, ITU, WSIS, ...) With a first meeting in Dec 2008 in the EU ?
