Comment on EU decides to take the fight to cyber-criminals by Juan Santana

@Camille, It is a controversial issue indeed. Pretty much in every country there is a similar debate nowadays. I believe that current cybersecurity issues need to be addressed, among other things, through stronger legislation intra-country and much more international collaboration to jointly fight cybercrime, that is why it is good to see focus on it from the EU.

There is always a risk that some constituencies advocate for measures that do not respect civil rights. The “Internet passport” has been suggested as a potential tool, not only by Eugene Kaspersky, but by others in various countries in the past. Personally I don’t agree that it would help in any way and it has much more risks than benefits.

I do think however that the situation can be improved substantially and that it can be done without affecting civil rights. Governments just need to put the resources, focus and time to get it going … and they need to do so while listening to the various stakeholders involved (internet users and security industry among others). But we need to move fast: cybercrime does not stay still. Two examples of how slow things move in relation to cybersecurity: i) more than 6 months have gone by and President Obama hast not yet named the Cyber Czar he talked about in his famous Cybersecurity Plan that he presented back in May; and ii) back in June, the Spanish Senate instructed the Spanish Government to develop a similar plan for Spain… 6 months after, no action for the time being.

As I said, I think addressing Cybersecurity by the various Governments today is a must and they need to make an important priority … but it has to be done while respecting civil rights.

Most of what has happened in states like France, Germany and Britain in the last couple of months has been a shame regarding civil rights - whether from a general perspective, or from a specific point of view that’s focusing on internet-related things exclusively. Germany like France encountered heavy protests originated from frequently internet users, politicians and citizens.

There is a growing awareness that something of great danger is going on. Jewgeni Kasperski has made an interview in which he said he loved the idea of an internet police and the idea of everybody having to identify himself prior connecting to the internet. For this he was stoned in a metaphorical sense!

Looking at recent laws in Britain, conscientious journalists and critical internet users see restrictions of their civil liberties. The development of how governments try to regulate the internet is taken into account with big concern.

People know there is a cover-up going on.
