Internet Security: We're all responsible

By John Leyden, The Register, 9/26/2001

Government and business should team up to improve Internet security,
ecommerce minister Douglas Alexander said today. 

Opening the Information security Solution Europe conference in London
today, Alexander advised delegates to exercise greater awareness over
Internet security, in light of the America terror attacks. 

"In an interconnected world, there is a collective responsibility to
ensure that the entire system is secure," he said.  "Increasingly
society will view those business who inadvertently spread viruses or act
as platforms for denial of service attacks as failing in their duty to
both businesses and the wider community."

In his speech Alexander also urged businesses to take up the little
adopted ISO 17799 security standard and he praised private sector
initiatives to create trust services, such as tScheme.  In case you
didn't know allready "tScheme is the independent, non-profit making,
industry led body set up to approve these services (of trust service
providers. 

Busy Bunny Alexander has been a busy bunny lately.  For three months
we've seen neither hide nor hair of the ecommerce minister.  And then up
he pops twice in a week - yesterday to call on BT to reduce consumer
broadband charges.  Keep this up and we'll have to drop the "elusive
ecommerce minister" epithet.  ®
