The Security Of Internet Infrastructure Is Challenged By EU Agency

The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security ("ENISA") has issued a report recommending that the principal infrastructure on which the internet is based needs to be reassessed to address increasing security threats.

Following an earlier report published at the end of 2014 which warned that privacy and data protection are being ignored by companies developing new services and products, ENISA published a further report on 15 January highlighting the numerous threats to the underlying infrastructure of the worldwide internet. The report, Threat Landscape and Good Practice Guide for Internet Infrastructure, makes recommendations with the aim of improving internet security and also scrutinises various emerging trends which threaten the long term security of the worldwide internet.
