4.7. Communication security


Within the framework of communications security, 2011 was marked by publication of amendments to the LCE, transposing the amendments made to the European regulatory framework for electronic communications into national legislation, particularly as regards the security and integrity of networks and services.

Meanwhile, transposition of amendments referring to privacy protection and personal data protection in networks and electronic communications services remains pending.

Important actions on communications security were developed as contained in the European critical information infrastructure protection plan, the second version of which was published in 2011 through EC Communication COM (2011) 163 final, entitled "Achievements and next steps: towards global cyber-security". ICP-ANACOM participated actively in this plan, as further described below.
