ISPs want the government to ante up on cyber-security

As ISPs and their customers become regular targets to cyber-attacks, the providers have been forced to call on law enforcement and government agencies to ante up on cyber-security.

These are the conclusions of a new report, based on a poll carried out by the Internet Services Providers’ Association (ISPA). The report calls upon government agencies and law enforcement to ‘prioritise awareness raising and education’, and to improve how they handle cyber-security reports.

Following the launch of the report, ISPA Chair James Blessing said: “Cyber-security is critical, and this survey shows how it has become an even bigger issue for ISPs. The survey also reveals that industry believes Government and law enforcement need to raise their game in tackling cyber-crime and need to have a clear plan on how they will be tackling offenders and raising awareness among users.”   For the full article click here
