Is just amazing the quantity of reviews of cyber attacks and hackers breaking into massive companies. It appears each day we see that there have been cyber attacks on our government, navy, and our Fortune five hundred organizations. Now not only the authorities, but also the citizens are calling for far more cyber protection, and greater and much better laptop programs. Clearly, this completely is appreciated by the lobbyists in the computer market, and the cyber stability software program sector.

Possibly you are as troubled as I am about the foreseeable future of laptop protection? I recently, famous an post in Homeland Stability News, one particular of a lot of without a doubt, but it made me quit and think. The write-up was released on July 15, 2011 in the Cyber Company Section titled “Recent deluge of cyber assaults results in file spending,” and it said

“The deluge of substantial profile cyber assaults on main corporations and authorities entities like the U.S. Senate, the CIA, and Sony has driven a sharp improve in demand for cyber protection specialists in the very first 6 months of this calendar year on your own, cyber attacks and information breaches have price U.S. firms approximately $ninety six billion, nearly the complete for 2010 analysts project 2011 to be the busiest calendar year yet with an approximated $seventy five.6 billion in cyber safety shelling out, surpassing last year’s record $63 billion.”

Now then, how occur the much more we devote, the a lot more attacks we get, and the more security methods we place up in defense, the much more chinks in the armor the cyber hackers uncover? It seems to me that the hackers are just as wise as individuals designing the systems, and perhaps, even amongst the same group of pals as those developing the firewalls. It looks too poor that we have a game of quick escalation, and probably we need to have a new approach.

Possibly what we need to have to do is change the sport fully, go to a entirely distinct method, and alter almost everything around so that we avoid the sorts of cyber attacks we have been getting. Every single time we devote far more funds, there would seem to be a lot more media about the cyber attacks, and it would seem to be making a feeding frenzy in Washington DC, as they spend our taxpayer’s income for a lot more robust pc methods. One particular might also request why is the authorities collecting so significantly information, what do they want it for – and is it actually assisting their effectiveness?

Take into Cyber Security if you will, authorities is presently inefficient by its very mother nature, bureaucracies always are. Just due to the fact the bureaucracy is a lot more successful moving data around, isn’t going to indicate what it is performing is proper, or an efficient procedure in the first location. The capability to do much more employing computer systems is irrelevant if what you are carrying out is just shuffling paperwork – if you shuffle the paperwork more rapidly or much more of it, are you actually succeeding at something?

Now then, maintain that imagined for a second, and let’s go back again to the other matter, that is to say the challenge of our present Web, and laptop systems. No one particular attempts to hack into mainframes any more correct, absolutely everyone is trying to hack into the Net now. What if we altered our system entirely, making a whole various system, some thing nicely outside of what we are at present employing now. In that situation our pc programs would not be open up to cyber attack. And it may possibly give us time to breathe and beef up our systems till the cyber attackers figure out the new technique.
