What methodologies are most suitable to build a secure Internet tomorrow?
Agree, given the software and hardware complexity there is need to secure each particular networks (LANs, MANs and WANs ), as well as malicious software that may be embedded almost in any application.
One can be:
1. Not always at internet.
2. Clean virus
3. Avoid visiting unwanted website those are harmful
Information technology security, also known as computer security or cybersecurity, is the process of safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all information processed, stored, or transmitted using electronic resources.
Since information and communications technology directs most funds, there are serious implications for e-finance, to name one area of concern bisecting all sectors. (E-finance is the use of electronics to share information, transfer representations of value, and execute transactions. Its primary channels are electronic funds transfers, electronic data interchange, electronic benefits transfers, and electronic trade confirmations.)
However, the occurrence of cybercrime (the most prevalent form, involving cyber defamation, e-commerce frauds, hacking, infringement of digital copyrights, malware, money laundering, privacy leaks, viruses, etc.), "hacktivism", cyber espionage, and even cyber warfare increases as dependence on ICT heightens risks. Financial services are the most lucrative industry targeted by cybercriminals but there are risks across economies and societies. Attacks on critical infrastructure, for instance, could significantly disrupt the functioning of government, civil society, and the private sector.
As we connect everything to the internet, we open more—and certainly more dangerous—gateways through which cyber attackers can wreak havoc. Ever more, makers of next-generation connected devices will have to be on the lookout for damage that hackers might cause and for malfunctions from bad software. To protect their most valuable assets, organizations must begin to build—then constantly fortify—digital resilience. So, we are indeed talking about multiple technologies (that cannot be discussed in the short space of ResearchGate's Q&A).
Thank you Oliver, I agree. This is just a beginning of new era of cyber crime and yet the communications technologies will continue to connect anyone to anyone and to anything at all times. Despite of most advanced technologies in security, a human factor will remain to be most complex and unpredictable.
