ENISA has analysed economic drivers and barriers in a number of areas (including legal, policy, technical and research) and has identified potential areas of improvement to boost security and resilience in public systems and networks and consequently to relevant products and services. Subsequently this work elaborates on economic issues (e.g. Total Cost of Ownership, Return of Investment, etc.) arising from the fulfilment of such requirements. In this way, this work contributes to the points announced in the Digital Agenda for Europe, such as boosting Europe’s economic performance and introduction of measures to reinforce the benefits of the single market.
Currently there are discussions at the international level on the issue of Economics of Security, which has resulted in several studies and analyses. ENISA has collected and analysed the existing knowledge available in order to avoid duplication of work and create a solid view of the complex issue of “Economics of Security”. For this purpose, experts in this area have been contacted and their views on open issues in the area of Economics of Security have been assessed. Once the analysis exercise was completed, ENISA identified key issues that need to be addressed in the short term. As part of this work, ENISA identified particular stakeholders affected by this challenging environment, such as the consumers, industry and state. Subsequently identified and analysed the ways they are affected and possible ways to address their concerns. In order to do this effectively, we established a multidisciplinary working group, comprising of economists, technical experts, economists and representatives of industry. The final report can be found here. More from this author:
