United Kingdom Tops Cyber Security

March 18th, 2010

All the internet community of UK would be extremely glad to hear that United Kingdom’s practices in Cyber Security have been found to be reasonable and adequately equipped to deal with the cyber security threats and other vunlerability attacks

The report was released by House of Lords committee. Apparently the House of Lords EU community report looked at how United Kingdom has geared up towards the defence mechanism in the Cyber space.  In addition, the UK has been praised for their security effort which also says that the nation leads every other EU country and their benchmarks are unmatches and something that should be adopted by others in the fraternity.

With the encouragement, UK has also been advised to organize a training sessions focussed towards Cyber security. In addition, the report has also suggested the inclusion of US and NATO.

The report has also criticized ENISA, the cyber security agency of European Union for their location. The agency is located in a small Greek island of Crete.

According to the report, “We are convinced that the decision to site ENISA at Heraklion was not taken on the basis of a careful cost/benefit analysis, and it has led and continues to lead to problems over the recruitment and retention of staff, and over the scheduling of meetings,” .

In a statement issued by, Lord Jopling, chairman of the sub-committee “We believe strongly that the government and the EU should be giving greater attention to how cyber-security could be developed on a global basis. The internet has no borders, and it is important that any proposals from the EC are considered in a global context. “A first step must be better cooperation with NATO. The EU and NATO have similar interests in defence against cyber-attacks and work in similar ways, yet there is virtually no communication between them. There must be cooperation rather than duplication. “Further to this, broadening the dialogue with other major international players, such as the US, Russia and China will be essential if we are to become more robust in our defences against cyber attacks.”
