The European ICT security market is not achieving its full potential. Which are the barriers to its full deployment? What are the bottlenecks that EU action should address?
I just finished to attend a Tweets Storm on #etnokroes where the Commissioner Neelie Kroes answered to questions about ICT. Lots of interesting questions and some considerations from the debate that I can use to try to answer your question here.
- need for more innovative trans-European partnerships (eHealth was one of the examples brought up)
- doing more for the creation of a EU mobile operators market (ie cheaper roaming for EU citizens)
- cooperation between the telecom sector and institutions (there were representatives from the telecom sector involved in the discussion)
- co-investment in physical network assets as a good way to de-risk investment
These are just some of the ideas gathered in a quick Tweets Storm. I believe that some would be interesting to further investigate.
Maybe we should consider defining what is meant by the "European ICT Security Industry".
Plug-on security is rather useless - security is either built-in from start or not at all.
But that also means that security has to be strongly adapted to the application/aspects handled.
E.g.
- a secure payment is NOT based on identification or re-useof keys such as EMV Payment Card, but on purpose-specific non-reused keys such as Digital Cash.
- a "secure channel" is not merely some SSL-encryption, you also need to consider data leakage of ip-adresses and DDOS attacks on reused addresses which might encorporate some sort of onion-routing or mixnet such as e.g. embassies use.
- a secure use of bioemtrics is Chip-on-card, possibly including some sort of biometric encryuption, but nothing like the passports enablgin biometrics-based identity theft.
Etc.
Security is perhaps a methodology, a principle of risk minimization, a process such as a negotiation and validated resolution againt a set of security tools, technologies, procedures, solutions etc.
Europe to support especially the awareness campaign. Large forms like the telcos, computer manufacturer, insurance forms and others are on their way to invest in entering the mid market. Our initiative is a perfect door opener for them as well. And we look for financial aid from the EU Commission to help mid market companies with their initial investments to turn into digitally savvy businesses able to play in a globally interconnected world http://www.pass4sure.us/Cisco/350-030.html 350-030 practice test http://www.pass4sure.us/PMI/PMI-001.html PMI-001 practice test http://www.pass4sure.us/Cisco/640-553.html 640-553 practice test

I just wonder if online security is perceived as a market or a market challenge. Reminds me of the cobra effect anecdote. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect
