A strategy for a Secure Information Society - Dialogue, partnership and empowerment

The purpose of the present Communication is to revitalise the European Commission strategy set out in 2001 in the Communication Network and Information Security: proposal for a European Policy approach. It reviews the current state of threats to the security of the Information Society and determines what additional steps should be taken to improve network and information security (NIS).

Drawing on the experience acquired by Member States and at European Community level, the ambition is to further develop a dynamic, global strategy in Europe, based on a culture of security and founded on dialogue, partnership and empowerment.
