by Patrik Fältström 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Hi, As you can see below European Commission just released human rights guidance for 3 business sectors. I have helped COM and specifically IHRB with their piece of the work, and I know others on this list have also helped. Everything from more formal support to extremely good comments that have helped making the documents what they finally ended up being. Patrik Fältström Head of Research and Development Netnod Begin forwarded message: > From: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > Subject: From the European Commission: human rights guidance for 3 business sectors > Date: 17 juni 2013 18:23:09 CEST > To: <entr-csr(a)ec.europa.eu> > > We are pleased to announce the publication of the European Commission Sector Guides on Implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. > > > Download the Guides here: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newsroom/cf/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=6711&lang… > > The Guides – for employment and recruitment agencies, ICT companies, and oil and gas companies – were developed over the past 18 months by Shift and IHRB through extensive research and multistakeholder consultation with representatives from the three industries as well as governments, trade unions, civil society, academia and other experts. Read more about the Guides’ development here. > > Each Guide offers practical advice on how to implement the corporate responsibility to respect human rights in day-to-day business operations in each industry through step-by-step guidance. At each step, they summarise what the UN Guiding Principles expect, offer a range of approaches and examples for how to put them into practice, and link users to additional resources that can support their work. They are intended to help companies “translate” respect for human rights into their own systems and cultures. > > Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this process. > > Best regards, > > > CSR Team > > European Commission > Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General > Unit ENTR.D.1 >

@EXT: EU Law Enforcement cooperation with the private sector: Advisory Groups
by Marcolla, Sara Veronica 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

Hi all, Once again I would like to share with you some perspective on public-private cooperation, in this case between the EU Law Enforcement Agency (Europol) and its network of private partners. EC3, the EU Cybercrime Centre at Europol, established the Advisory Groups on Financial Services, Internet Security and Communication Providers to foster trust and cooperation between key private sector industries and law enforcement in their joint fight against cybercrime. They meet separately three times a year to share strategic information related to cybercrime threats and trends in their respective business areas, as well as to agree on joint initiatives alongside law enforcement. ==> Here you can find out who are the private partners (perhaps your company is already one!) as well as a bit of context about the activity of these Advisory Groups: https://www.europol.europa.eu/about-europol/european-cybercrime-centre-ec3/…. This infographic presents the highlights of last year's cooperation between EC3 and the AG on Internet Security: https://www.europol.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/is_a3version.pdf; whereas this one presents you the sum up of all activities carried out between EC3 and the AG on Communication Providers: https://www.europol.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/cp_a3version.pdf Last week, network operators from the Advisory Group on Communication Providers met with investigators to discuss the security challenges related to 5G, in particular lawful interception capabilities, cyber threats and investigative challenges. The following day, the Advisory Group on Internet Security gathered to discuss attacks against critical infrastructure and the anatomy of an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). Investigators presented case studies on different threat actors' Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP), as well as how information sharing with law enforcement can be improved. ==> Here is a link to the original press release: https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/ec3-advisory-groups-%E2%80%93-l… Kind regards, Sara Marcolla Europol - O3 European Cyber Crime Centre (EC3) Eisenhowerlaan 73, 2517 KK The Hague, The Netherlands www.europol.europa.eu ******************* DISCLAIMER : This message is sent in confidence and is only intended for the named recipient.

@EXT: NoMoreRansom project: fourth decryption tool neutralises latest version of GandCrab ransomware
by Marcolla, Sara Veronica 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hi all, When we talk about public-private cooperation, we often think in very abstract terms. It is not always the case. Today, for instance, a new decryption tool for the latest version of the most prolific ransomware family GandCrab has been released free of charge on www.nomoreransom.org<http://www.nomoreransom.org>. Previous decryptors for the GandCrab ransomware have helped more than 30 000 victims recover their data and save roughly $50 million in unpaid ransoms. Law enforcement and IT Security companies have joined forces to disrupt cybercriminal businesses with ransomware connections. The "No More Ransom" website is an initiative by the National High Tech Crime Unit of the Netherlands' police, Europol's European Cybercrime Centre and McAfee with the goal to help victims of ransomware retrieve their encrypted data without having to pay the criminals. The recent tool, for instance, is the fruit of cooperation between EU and US police forces. Together with Bitdefender. The police cannot fight cybercrime, and ransomware in particular, on its own. And security researchers cannot do it without support from law enforcement agencies. Responsibility for the fight against ransomware is shared between the police, the justice department, Europol and IT security companies, and requires a joint effort. Together we will do everything in our power to disrupt criminals' money-making schemes and return files to their rightful owners, without the latter having to pay loads of money. The full press release is here: https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/just-released-fourth-decryption… If your company is interested in supporting the project, you can get in touch with us.
