Novell Sponsors UK Internet Computer Crime Report

BRACKNELL, BERKSHIRE, ENGLAND, 1999 MAY 10 (NB)
By Sylvia Dennis, Newsbytes.
     
Novell's [NASDAQ:NOVL] UK operation has entered into a major sponsorship
arrangement with the National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) for the
publication of NCIS's Trawler Report, a strategic criminal assessment on
Internet and computer crime. Plans call for the report to be published in
mid-June.The NCIS is an offshoot of the British government and the UK
police authority, and was originally set up to offer high technology and
other leading edge advice to the various arms of police forces across the
UK.
     
The NCIS is now at the forefront of the fight against serious and
organized crime in the UK and throughout the world. Developing
intelligence on serious criminality, NCIS works with law enforcement
agencies, governments, and other relevant agencies, both nationally and
internationally.
     
Normally, its activities are shrouded in secrecy. However, the sponsorship
agreement, set up between Mark Steele, head of corporate communications at
NCIS, and Martin Smith, Novell's licensing manager for the Europe, Middle
East & Africa regions, will allow for the publication of an unclassified
version of the report, in addition to the restricted document aimed at law
enforcement practitioners.
     
Smith said that the public interest in this field of criminality is
phenomenal.
     
"The report will give an eye-opening account of how new technology is
being abused for criminal ends and will stimulate debate about the ways in
which such activity may be eliminated or contained," he said.
