Workshop on Monitoring and Network Security

"Monitoring is legal." That notion resounded at the June security seminar focused on "Monitoring and Network Security" organized at the Police Academy of the Czech Republic in Prague. The information and communications technology and security experts discussed not only technical but also legal and ethical aspects of monitoring network traffic. Extensive discussions touched in particular upon the legality of monitoring network traffic and data storage. The seminar also heard the view that monitoring and record keeping of data traffic is legal if the activity is not used to obtain private and sensitive data. In any event, the seminar pointed out deficiencies in the legislation, as well as various interpretations of this issue. The speakers at the seminar were representing public administration (e.g. the Czech Telecommunication Office), the legal community, academia and the private sector.
