Main EU policy initiatives in the NIS & CIIP areas

Strategy for a Secure Information Society COM(2006)251• “Voluntary” approach based on dialogue, partnership and

empowerment• Comprehensive set of actions – risk management culture• Promote openness, diversity, interoperability, usability,

competition as inherent security safeguards• Reinforce ENISA’s role in implementing the NIS policy• Importance of “resilience” of electronic communications

Action Plan on Critical Information Infrastructure Protection COM(2009)149• Protect Europe from large scale cyber attacks and disruptions • Promote security and resilience as first line of defense• Enhance the CIIP preparedness and response capability in EU • Foster the adoption of adequate and consistent levels of

preventive, detection, emergency and recovery measures• Foster International cooperation, in particular on Internet

stability and resilience

CIIP Action Plan – Specific Objectives

Five specific objectives to be achieved:

• Foster cooperation and exchange of good policy practices between MS (EFMS)

• Develop a public-private partnership at the European level on security and resilience of CIIs (EP3R)

• Enhance incident response capability in the EU

• Promote national and European cyber contingency plans and exercises on simulated large-scale network security incidents.

• Reinforce international cooperation on global issues, in particular on resilience and stability of Internet

CIIP Action Plan – Five pillars1. Preparedness and prevention

• European Forum for MS to share information & policy practices - EFMS

• European Public Private Partnership for Resilience EP3R• Baseline of capabilities and services for National/Governmental

CERTs2. Detection and response

• Development of a European Information Sharing and Alert System – EISAS dedicated to EU citizens and SMEs

3. Mitigation and recovery• National contingency planning and exercises• Pan-European exercises on large-scale network security incidents• Reinforced cooperation between National/Governmental CERTs

4. International Cooperation• Define European priorities, principles and guidelines for the long

term resilience and stability of the Internet• Promote the principles and guidelines at global level• Global cooperation on exercises on large-scale Internet incidents

5. Definition of criteria for the identification of European Critical Infrastructures in the ICT sector

CIIP COM(2011)163 “Achievements and next steps: towards global cyber-

security”

security” – Areas of achievements

• European Forum for Member States (EFMS)• European Public-Private Partnership for Resilience

(EP3R)• Baseline of capabilities and services for pan-European

cooperation of national/governmental CERTs• European Information Sharing and Alert System (EISAS)• National contingency planning and exercises• Pan-European exercise on large-scale network security

incidents• Principles and guidelines on Internet resilience and

stability• Sector specific criteria for identifying European Critical

Infrastructures in the ICT sector

• Very positive results achieved so far in CIIP within the EU

• 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;

- A European cyber-incident contingency plan and regular National and pan-European cyber exercises by 2012;

- European coordinated efforts in international fora and discussions on enhancing Internet security and resilience.


security” – The way forward 1/2

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

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

“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

Strategic objective:

Elements of the futureEuropean Strategy for Internet Security (1/4)

• 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…)

Preliminary ideas for legal measures aiming at ensuring the establishment of:


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 re-assurance 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


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


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 SecurityConsultation process

Exchange of views held so far:• Within INFSO and Commission-wide (ISG on Cyber-crime

and cyber-security, discussions on specific issues with relevant services)

• 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
