<fyi> EUROPEAN COMMISSION PLANS CYBERSECURITY AGENCY
The European Commission proposed creating the European Network and
Information Security Agency to provide advice for the 15 EU members on
cybersecurity issues. The agency is scheduled to begin operating in January
2004, at a site to be chosen by the governments of the 15 member states.
The commission has set aside $26 million to fund the agency over the next
five years, with additional funds planned to support the 10 new member
states expected to join in 2004. The agency will assist EU members' own
cybercrime authorities, specifically computer emergency response teams. The
increased coordination among member states is expected to benefit the EU as
a whole in achieving a high level of security for Internet use.
