Europe Considers Data Breach Rules for Critical Infrastructure
European businesses that provide critical infrastructure services, including banks, stock exchanges, telecommunications firms and utilities, may soon be required to disclose any data breaches to authorities, InformationWeek reports.
The proposal is contained in draft regulations currently being circulated by the EU’s executive committee, which plans to formally introduce the recommendation in February 2013, after getting feedback from the European Parliament and the 27 countries in the EU, the article says.
