ENISA Survey: "Cybersecurity Consumer Outreach Practices"
by Marco Hogewoning 18 May '21

18 May '21

Dear colleagues, I've been asked to encourage you to respond to a short survey by ENISA, which will take approximately 15 minutes of your time. The European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) contains some provisions regarding outreach to costumers and consumers regarding potential cybersecurity threats security incidents and what they can or need to do. Or in the text of the EECC itself (Art, 40, par. 3): “Member States shall ensure that in the case of a particular and significant threat of a security incident in public electronic communications networks or publicly available electronic communications services, providers of such networks or services shall inform their users potentially affected by such a threat of any possible protective measures or remedies which can be taken by the users. Where appropriate, providers shall also inform their users of the threat itself.” Amongst its goals, the survey aims to identify: • Effective solutions and good practices of the cybersecurity consumer outreach by electronic communication providers. • Methods of authorities for supporting the development of customer outreach on cybersecurity. If you have any examples to share, please participate in the survey. Although this survey is organised by ENISA, it is not uncommon for the results of these surveys to form the basis for legislative proposals by the Commission. In that context it is always useful to provide input about industry practices and position in these early stages and be able to inform policy makers about the things that work and the things where change might be needed. The survey can be found at https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/ElectronicCommunicationsProvidersConsu… It will close on 20 May 2021, so unfortunately not much time to develop a common position. I would recommend you contribute to this survey on an individual basis. Best, Marco Hogewoning Manager Public Policy and Internet Governance RIPE NCC

Update on NIS 2: Proposed amendments by the Parliament alter scope on (root) DNS
by Marco Hogewoning 07 May '21

07 May '21

Dear colleagues, We'd like to inform you that some changes have been proposed to NIS 2 that would accommodate some of the concerns raised by the RIPE NCC and the RIPE community. As a quick recap: the European Commission proposed an update to the Network and Information Security Directive, commonly referred to as NIS 2, which would bring the DNS root servers into scope of the directive, resulting in regulatory oversight of the DNS root server operators. Following our response on the NIS 2 proposal in the public feedback process, we reached out to a number of parties involved in the legislative process, including some members of the European Parliament, drawing attention to our concerns. The ITRE committee, which is leading this dossier in the European Parliament, yesterday published its initial report listing a number of proposed amendments. We are happy to see that it has taken on board the concerns we and other community members have raised. In particular, the committee proposes amending the scope of the directive to include: "authoritative domain name resolution services as a service procurable by third-party entities”. We realise this leaves a substantial part of the DNS in scope; however, this change would address the concerns we raised in our response by removing from scope: - DNS root operations - Small and non-commercial operators, such as people running their own DNS servers We are pleased to see these amendments and appreciate the rapporteur, MEP Groothuis, addressing our concerns. The full report is available at: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/ITRE-PR-692602_EN.pdf (The relevant changes are on pages 6, 27 and 57.) As a next step, the ITRE committee is provisionally scheduled to discuss this report on 27 May. We will continue to track the legislative process and keep you informed about the progress. Regards, Marco Hogewoning Manager, Public Policy and Internet Governance RIPE NCC
