Scared? Good. Because there is more:

Suddenly, not only internet users are in trouble...

March 2010 Stuxnet virus targets Iranian nuclear power plants

November 2011 Data from Norwegian oil, gas and defense companies stolen by hackers

2007-2008 Hackers interfere with two space satelites

November 2011 Illinois water treatment system damaged by hackers

So, let’s brainstorm some ideas...

...but also whole cities and nations.

And as the internet expands, these problems become more visible.

A reasonable goal would be to prevent online crime from increasing in the next five years – then we can think about decreasing it.

To succeed, governments, corporations and individuals need to be actively involved.

Page 6: [Challenge:Future] Let's fight crime... online!

Governments should be involved in cyberspace

As the internet doesn’t have boarders, multi-national cooperation is required. And so are budget adjustmentson defense.

Detailed strategic plans must be created by governments and organizations.

Promoting online awareness among citizens wouldn’t hurt. The earlier the better.

We could also detect threats before they become reality. Monitoring the internet and its users might prevent some damage...

...or introduce even more. Privacy issues are a huge problem itself. We should thread carefully.

Just like the UK and their new Cyber Security

Strategy

Well done!

Page 7: [Challenge:Future] Let's fight crime... online!

Corporations should think about their clientsIf firms aren’t secure, neither are their clients. Security measures at every step are required.

But all of that will cost money. Expect customers to pay for that.

Do you keep data about your customers? Encrypt it and make backup. Control who has access to it.

Always keep your infrastructure updated. Consider going open source* – more eyes for detecting security holes is better.

If you want to catch criminals, think like them. Or hire one**. Obviously they are good at what they are doing.And when the worst happens – be

honest about it. You’ve already lost your data, don’t lose the trust of your clients.

like Googleor Facebook

Kevin Mitnick is taken, and Neo from Matrix is fictional. But keep looking.

* **

Be prepared for the worst – have ready contingency plans at hand.

Individuals should always pay attention.

But human is an animal of habit. Changing habits of oneis difficult. Now, changing habits of 2 billion...

Keep your guards up all the time. If something is too good to be true, it probably is. Always ask questions.

Keep your software updated. Install antivirus and firewall. Don’t open emails and links from unknown sources.

Use strong passwords. 123abc, your birthdate or your pet’s name – not strong passwords. They can be easily found on your Facebook profile.

Quiz time!

Who’s the weakest link

in security chain?

Answer: Human

And so can the answers to your security questions. Think about what you share with the rest of the internet.

Page 9: [Challenge:Future] Let's fight crime... online!

I have good news and bad news (Please don’t shoot the messanger)

So let’s do something. Just like with the environment, start from yourself.

If you’re using the same password

for many accountsOR

If your passwords are weak I’ll wait.

...Done? Great! Now tell your family and friends to do the same.

...Done? Fantastic! Check the next slide for more ideas how you can improve your safety online. Tell your local politicans and companies you’re dealing with that you care about internet security.

Step by step, it will get better.

Bad news: none of these solutions are perfect. There are no magic bullets.

Good news: but doing something is better than doing nothing.:

(:

Change them now.

Not tomorrow, not later, not after this

presentation. Now
