Presentation:
Coordinating the Symposium: “Ensuring Privacy and Confidentiality of Information
Gathered and Stored”

“Developing a Warning, Alert and Advisory Reporting Point (WARP): Protecting the
Public Against Cyber-Crime”
Security is everyone's business and a process that requires continuous adjustments and vigilance. CASES (Cyberworld Awareness and Security Enhancement Structure) is a transnational effort for data and information sharing amongst European Union (EU) Member States to exchange information related to computer attacks as well as raising awareness while permitting benchmarking of these efforts as well. Geographical regions and cities can participate by building WARPs that serve particular groups of citizens (e.g., the elderly) and a city’s administration. WARPs provide city employees and citizens with faster and easier access to IT security related know-how and this should again trigger an awareness process. They also facilitate continuous improvement, thereby supporting efforts to increase trust and confidence in e-health and e-government efforts including e-democracy. An example with the necessary efforts needed for collaboration, amongst telecities and CASES is presented. Helping cities with their WARP efforts and facilitating partnering with other telecities and CASES is the primary objective of this presentation.
