- Handbook of Legislative Procedures of Computer and Network Misuse in EU Countries
- Enhancing the capabilities of Europe's Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRT) is an important objective of eEurope Action Plans 2002 and 2005. This Handbook is a tool which has been designed to help European CSIRTs to meet the challenge in dealing with incidents and operating in an environment where EU Member States have divergent legal codes dealing with computer crime and misuse. It is an easy to use guide that matches technical descriptions of incidents to the legal framework of the country in question and details procedures for working with law enforcement to respond to incidents.
