Faulty software more damaging than cyber attacks: Report

The vast majority of significant electronic systems failures in Europe are caused by faulty software and botched repair jobs, rather than deliberate cyber attacks, according to a report by the EU’s computer systems watchdog published yesterday (20 August).

The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) –which provides security expertise to the EU – said national regulators reported 79 incidents severe outages of electronic communication networks or services during  2012.

The report provides an overview of incidents without details about individual countries, providers, or incidents, but it does outline the root causes of the reported incidents.
