The main responsibilities
of ETSI TC CYBER are:
- To act as
the ETSI centre of expertise in the area of Cyber Security
- Advise
and assist all ETSI Groups with the development of Cyber Security
requirements
- To
develop and maintain the Standards, Specifications and other
deliverables to support the development and implementation of
Cyber Security standardization within ETSI
- To
collect and specify Cyber Security requirements from relevant
stakeholders
- To
identify gaps where existing standards do not fulfil the
requirements and provide specifications and standards to fill
these gaps, without duplication of work in other ETSI committees
and partnership projects
- To ensure
that appropriate Standards are developed within ETSI in order to
meet these requirements

Areas of activity
The activities of TC CYBER will be performed in close
co-operation with relevant standards activities within and outside ETSI.
The
activities of ETSI TC CYBER include the following broad areas:
-
Cyber Security
- Security of infrastructures, devices, services and protocols
- Security advice, guidance and operational security requirements
to users, manufacturers and network and infrastructure operators
- Security tools and techniques
- Provision of security mechanisms to protect privacy
- Creation of security specifications and alignment with work done
in other TCs.
Liaisons
The tasks described above will require liaisons with relevant bodies within ETSI
as well as outside ETSI.
Internal to ETSI:
- ETSI TCs that have a
requirement for Security in their work. Examples are LI, SAGE,
and SmartM2M. It is recognised that Security is a vertical
activity and undertaken within groups, whilst TC CYBER may
provide advice, guidance and horizontal coordination
- ETSI ISGs that have a
requirement for security in their work
External to ETSI:
-
Coordination with European, National and
International standards organisations, as well as other bodies
such as ENISA, 3GPP, oneM2M, and Professional organisations etc.
