[anti-spam-wg] ENISA Study: Industry Measures on Security and Spam

[Jaap Akkerhuis jaap@localhost]

Folks,

Last week or so, the European Network and Information Security
Agency (ENISA, wwww.enisa.eu.int) published the results of a "Survey
on Industry Measures taken to comply with National Measures
implementing Provisions of the Regulatory Framework for Electronic
Communications relating to the Security of Services". What is meant
about that is explained in the first paragraph of the Executive
summary:

	European providers of electronic communication services use
	a variety of technical and organizational measures to secure
	their services and to fight unsolicited electronic mail
	(spam).  This study, conducted by ENISA in January 2006,
	provides an overview of these measures. It is based on more
	than 90 responses to questionnaires that were sent to
	providers and National Regulatory Authorities. The outline
	of the study follows Directive 2002/58/EC, in particular
	Article 4 (Security) and Article 13 (Unsolicited Communications).

I'm tempted to quote the report summary of the executive summary,
but you better read it youtself. A link to it can be found at
http://www.enisa.eu.int/deliverables/index_en.htm or more directly,

ENISA is working on a follow up survey. I will tell about that in a
