More on Security Economics

The European Network and Information Security Agency has released a study open for comment on the economic barriers to information Security found here.

To quote ENISA, The principal objectives of the report are:

 

• To identify existing economic barriers for addressing Network and Information Security (NIS) issues in a single, open and competitive Internal Market for e-communication;
• To assess these barriers’ potential impact on the smooth functioning of the Internal Market for e-communication;
• To identify and analyse incentives (regulatory, non-regulatory, technical, educational, etc.) for lifting these barriers identified to cause distortion of the smooth functioning of the Internal Market for e-communication;
• To provide a range of recommendations to relevant actors (decision-makers both at EU and national level, industry, academia, etc.) for policy options, possible follow-up actions and initiatives.
