CERT Communication in the light of GDPR and the NIS Directive
Abstrakt: Computer Emergency Response Teams are an essential component of the
European cyber security landscape. With the introduction and passing into effect
of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Network and Information
Security (NIS) Directive a new legislative base has been established for
protecting privacy and for defending critical information infrastructure
components inside the European Union.
Starting from research carried out in the Austrian KIRAS (www.kiras.at) security
research projects CERT Komm I and II, the talk outlines the critical role of
CERTs and their communication. The talk then discusses selected effects that may
result from the introduction, respectively translation into national
legislation, of GDPR and NIS.
