They will strengthen the existing European framework and, in turn, authorities and relevant entities will be able to respond more efficiently and effectively to cybersecurity incidents,\u201d the European Council said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new regulation also establishes a Cybersecurity Emergency Mechanism to support member states in preparing for, detecting, and recovering from major cybersecurity attacks, and a European Cybersecurity Incident Review Mechanism to review and assess major attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mechanism will support preparedness actions, including testing for potential vulnerabilities; a new EU cybersecurity reserve that will include private incident response services that will intervene at the request of member states; and technical mutual assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second law (PDF) amends the Union\u2019s cyber resilience through the adoption of certification schemes for managed security services, which play an essential role in preventing, detecting, responding to, and recovering from cyberattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese services can consist of, for example, incident handling, penetration testing, security audits, and consulting related to technical support,\u201d the Council said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By amending the CSA, the council aims to increase the quality of managed security services, foster the emergence of trusted providers, and prevent market fragmentation in the context of some member states developing their own national certification schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the presidents of the Council and the European Parliament having signed them, the two laws are expected to be published in the EU\u2019s official journal and will be enforced 20 days after their publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Council of the European Union on Monday announced t [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":624,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category--en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonsshieldhk.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonsshieldhk.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonsshieldhk.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonsshieldhk.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonsshieldhk.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moonsshieldhk.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonsshieldhk.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonsshieldhk.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonsshieldhk.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonsshieldhk.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
