If the new rules are greenlit, companies would have to let TheEuropean Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) know ever time abreach to their computer systems. The proposed ruling comes after some high-profile cases of confidentialinformation being lost due to laptops being stolen or data discs going awry.The latest worldwide case of data going missing was earlier this month when [URL="http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-05/08/content_8126223.htm"]anHSBC server was lost [/URL]and some 159,000 Chinese bank account details went missing. Closer to home was the child benefit data scandal that sawthe UKgovernment lose CDs containing [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7103566.stm"]25 million people’s data[/URL]. [B]Call in the Certs[/B] According to Silicon.com, in 2005 the EU set up what is dubbed as the ‘digital fire brigade’.Called Computer Emergency Response Teams (Certs), these teams are currently employedin eight states and combat such things as spam and server attacks.
