3.3.4 <strong>ICT</strong> security measures<br />
e-<strong>Bus<strong>in</strong>ess</strong> W@tch analysed security controls <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r measures applied by European<br />
enterprises to counter security threats <strong>in</strong> detail <strong>in</strong> its survey of 2005. Results, which were<br />
presented <strong>in</strong> a special report, 47 <strong>in</strong>dicated that basic components such as firewalls <strong>and</strong><br />
secure servers – for those enterprises requir<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>se – already exhibited high levels of<br />
penetration. As a follow-up to this study on <strong>ICT</strong> security, questions on selected security<br />
measures which were of particular <strong>in</strong>terest to policy were also <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> e-<strong>Bus<strong>in</strong>ess</strong><br />
Survey 2006.<br />
Secure Server Technology <strong>and</strong> Firewall<br />
"Secure server technology" means that data exchange between computers is based on<br />
certa<strong>in</strong> technical st<strong>and</strong>ards or protocols, for example "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL); this<br />
is a widely used 48 protocol for manag<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> security of a message transmission on <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>ternet. Transport Layer Security (TLS), which is based on SSL, is an emerg<strong>in</strong>g<br />
successor. In <strong>the</strong> P&P <strong>in</strong>dustry, more than 20% of all firms report use of Secure Server<br />
Technology (see Exhibit 3-14). Figures largely correspond to <strong>the</strong> average situation across<br />
<strong>the</strong> 10 sectors. SSL is most widely used by medium-sized <strong>and</strong> large firms (about 45-<br />
50%).<br />
