The Council of Europe plans to vote this week on drafted guidelines that call for more cooperation from Internet service providers (ISPs) in combatting online attacks.More here.
During the Council of Europe's Octopus 2008 Conference on Cybercrime -- which is taking place in Strasbourg, France -- participants will be asked to adopt a set of guidelines to speed response to cyberattacks and share more information, especially between Internet service providers and government agencies. The guidelines have been proposed by Estonia and other nations following the attacks on the northern European country last spring.
"The draft guidelines build upon the existing Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime -- to which many countries in Europe and beyond have acceded -- and call for formal partnerships between Internet service providers (ISPs) and law enforcement," the Council of Europe said in a statement published about the conference.
