A new European Telecommunications Standards Institute cybersecurity technical committee launched Friday. With different methods governing secure transactions in the various EU countries, it’s difficult to assess respective risks and make the right choices to ensure security, ETSI said. Its new panel (TC Cyber) will work with relevant parties within and outside ETSI on standards in several areas: (1) Cybersecurity. (2) Security of infrastructures, devices, services and protocols. (3) Security advice, guidance and operational security requirements for users, manufacturers and network and infrastructure operators. (4) Security tools and techniques. (5) Creating security specifications and aligning them with work done by other ETSI committees. TC Cyber’s first meeting is May 27-28 in Sophia Antipolis, France.
