EU's Information Security Expectations

The completion of a Single European Information Space offering affordable and secure high bandwidth communications, rich and diverse content and digital services, is one of the most important objectives of the program i2010 – A European Information Society for growth and employment. The Foundations that lay underneath this information space are based on traditional information domains like classified, unclassified, or personal information domain, and on contemporary democratic concepts as it is the freedom of information concept. Besides, the environment must satisfy all existing 27 EU member states plus future ones. Such foundations require proper information security regulation that will harmonise organisational and technical standards of the interconnections of different national information systems and networks, but also the standards of information management and protection in all EU member states. Considering relatively wide spectrum of areas from national security, through public e-Government services, till the commercial digital services, the way of legal regulation and approach to the issues of information security is rather various in these areas. So the information security regulation is incorporated in different legislation acts and programme documents both of the EU, and the member states. The Session will show all of these issues from the perspective of a country that is in the process of negotiation on the EU membership. It will be cleared about differences and similarities between the security policy and the information security demands in different EU programmes (e.g. IDABC), what are the basic concepts and demands for building government information networks, what initiatives and encouragement are to be expected within private sector, what is the connection of information security and some other actual and related subjects like the telecommunication regulation framework, and critical infrastructure protection.
