Welcome to the IV ENISE.

For the fourth consecutive year, INTECO is organizing ENISE, now known as the International Meeting on Information Security (Spain). In this new phase we want to dramatically shift the scope of the meeting. ENISE has established itself as a reference event for the Spanish information security industry. The aim of the 4th ENISE is to become an important meeting for the main players in the ICT security sector (industry, R&D, public administrations, users, etc.), both in the EU and in Latin America. On this occasion, the theme of the meeting will be New Frontiers in Cybersecurity. With this motto we intend to convey two ideas: on one hand, expanding the concept of “cybersecurity” and its place within a broader vision of security that includes all the aspects that a global view of security requires and, on the other hand, the diversification of threats which compromise the security of all people and organizations, both public and private.

Within the above mentioned context, each of the three days will be devoted to a particular core topic:

The first day will focus on National Security Strategies, from different perspectives including the secure provision of electronic public services to citizens and companies, the standardization, testing and certification of products (goods and services) and risk management issues.

The second day will deal with cybersecurity within the context of policies relating to Justice, Freedom and Security. From Spain, the "Strategic Plan for the Modernization of Justice: 2009-2012” will be looked at in detail since Spain faces the challenge, among others, of achieving a justice system distinguished by its agility and reliability in all its proceedings. This day is structured in three core areas (1) modernization, including the promotion of ICT in this sector (2) protection and transparency, which require an effort to ensure security of the information processed and (3) cooperation between different involved institutions.

Finally, the third day will be devoted to Digital Identity. Digital identity is a key element of the Digital Agenda for Europe that was launched by the European Commission, in part, with a view to achieving a dynamic digital single market. One of the legislative actions specified in this Agenda is the revision of the Directive on a Community framework for electronic signatures, with the aim of setting up a legal framework for cross-border recognition and interoperability of secure e-authentication systems. Likewise, new needs stemming from the increasing importance of mobility and cloud environments will also be addressed. In addition, INTECO will also announce a contest for the most innovative and practical eID service, based on the Spanish DNIe.

We are sure that the 4th ENISE will be of great interest for you.

We are looking forward to meeting you on 26th, 27th and 28th of October 2010 in León, Spain.

Kind regards,

Víctor M. Izquierdo Loyola, INTECO's General Manager
