SAFETY NET

In brief

Organisations such as hardware and software makers, internet service providers, retailers and banks could do more to promote internet security, a House of Lords committee claims. In its report, Personal Internet Security (HL 165-I), the Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology refutes the government’s assertion that responsibility for internet security rests with the individual. It wants the government to do more to force stakeholders to take a more proactive approach to the problem. It concludes that there is a clear threat to the internet but it can be managed both domestically and internationally through the EU and international organisations.
