\nThe reasons are very simple \u2013 the internet was designed and built without any security-concerns in mind. Additionally, the most common trend pointed out by almost all the attendants \u2013 attackers are getting organized as if they were banks or special task forces. Seriously, cybercriminals are not crazy cowboys with keyboards fighting for freedom of information anymore. They are businesses based around data and money stealing with structures, business planning, HR\u2019s, CEO\u2019s, CTO\u2019s, Margins, and ROI\u2019s. Cybercrime has become an industry, similar to drug cartels or shadow weapons shipments, and in order to fight it we need to be strong and organized.<\/p>\n
\nNew types of threats are born everyday. When you are a big company with 50k employees, you are bad at pivoting the curves \u2013 by the time you start a new business process fighting a new threat \u2013 the ecosystem changes and your efforts have become obsolete. This is why security-wise this is the time of Kaspersky-type players \u2013 those who are very fit, effective and dynamic with the best research expertise. Not to brag about it, but those are the words of market players, not ours.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s not about IP\u2019s, firewalls, ports and protocols anymore. Yes, protections such as building secure perimeters and adding corporate policies and certificates are great, but they are starting to become rather useless. Almost all of us have our own devices \u2013 smartphones, tablets and laptops \u2013 and WE USE THEM everyday for both private and corporate tasks. Additionally, people use social media accounts and cloud services (like dropbox) that cannot be controlled by any CIO or corporate policy. That\u2019s why today is a true paradise for attackers and concerns have largely increased\u00a0for security companies. In order to fight the threats efficiently, we have to work with social engineering, device management and virtualization.<\/p>\n
\nFunny story, sometimes the private security of a common user which he has been using on his personal devices is better than any corporate solutions.<\/p>\n
\nSocial media and open analytics (such as traffic data) are available to attackers. \u00a0It is insanely easy to gather information about a person or a business and build effective scam themes to penetrate corporate security perimeters just by using the human factor.<\/p>\n
\nWe do. Legislation has to be changed to give private security companies a chance to contribute to law enforcement organizations globally such as Interpol.<\/p>\n
\nHow can you fight mobile malware if people and manufacturers of the phones do not let security companies\u2019 installing agents access to the hardware? Another major pain is patch management \u2013 Android is the most vulnerable mobile OS because manufacturers of these smartphones are not in charge of creating and delivering new OS updates to users.<\/p>\n
\nSo, when we are telling you that we are using this blog to save the world \u2013 it\u2019s not a metaphor \u2013 it\u2019s kind of true.<\/p>\n
\nIt proves how bad the reality is. But to their benefit \u2013 it was a really positive speech with good insights. They see the solution in promoting international cooperation in terms of legislation and regulations as well as developing software and hardware solutions.<\/p>\n
\nYes, security does bother everybody. Bu there are governments, militaries, intelligence services and global law enforcement agencies that need to do their jobs \u2013 sometimes (and by that I mean everyday) it involves espionage. This means that the goals of a country sometimes conflict with global goals in fighting cyber-warfare. Governments are spying on each other \u2013 they were, they are and would do their best to gather information, steal secrets and get ready to attack\/defend against any threat, including cyber-types. It makes all negotiations very complicated.<\/p>\n
\n2) The security industry is very aware of what is going on and even the bitter rivals do their best to communicate with each other and make this world a safer place.
\n3) Governments have started to get a clue about what is happening. Everyone at\u00a0RSA 2013 is talking a lot about Obama\u2019s executive act \u2013 in a good way.
\n4) Kaspersky Lab\u2019s vision and technologies rock. If you\u2019re using our products \u2013 you are in good hands, folks \u2013 as we are on the frontline of this war and not a single byte escapes our attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
