You can also get involved in forming EU laws. The European Commission would like to hear your views on laws and policies currently in development. They offer a platform \u201cHave your say\u201d with the list of all new EU initiatives open for public consultation. You need to register to write your feedback. https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/law\/better-regulation\/have-your-say<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are always 5 stages of each EU initiative, each stage is open for public consultation for a specific time frame:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Cybersecurity \u2013 security requirements for ICT product certification<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    About this initiative:\u00a0<\/strong>The voluntary scheme will introduce a set of security requirements for ICT security products (e.g. firewalls, encryption devices, electronic signature devices) and ICT products with an inbuilt security functionality (i.e. routers, smartphones, bank cards).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Feedback period:<\/strong>\u00a0for stage 4 it is 03 October 2023 – 31 October 2023<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Feedback from Europeans for Safe Connections<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \u00ab\u00a0Europeans for Safe Connections\u00a0\u00bb suggest that the certification takes into account also insecurity of the wireless connections. Wireless transmissions from credit cards, mobile phones, smart watches, fitness trackers, pacemakers and personal wearables pose a risk of data misuse.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    We have particular concerns about private banking data and data covered by medical confidentiality. Dangerous threats regarding wireless medical devices violate con\ufb01dentiality of these devices. Hacking of medical devices could create a backdoor into hospital networks<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Also the wearable industry is booming nowadays. Users themselves contribute to privacy and device security breaches as they are not aware of different threats and vulnerability of the devices<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Minimization of data transmitted wirelessly is crucial for the security of medical patients. The principle of data minimization involves limiting data transmission and storage to only what is required to fulfil specific purposes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
