The European Commission today issued a report that calls for greater education on IT security, and the creation of a common framework for collecting incident data. In its report, the EC states that European spending on IT security "represents only around 5 to 13 percent of IT expenditure, which is alarmingly low." The commission calls for a cross-border effort to educate users about security and to unify disjointed national efforts to track exploits. . The report calls for the EC's European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) "to study the feasibility of a European information sharing and alert system to facilitate effective responses to existing and emerging threats to electronic networks." Such a system would require the creation of a multilingual EU portal to provide detailed information on threats, risks, and alerts, the commission said.
