the new battle line

the new battle line
In the movie Sneakers (1992), Robert Redford is tricked into stealing a decoder device that can break encryption codes and hack into the most secure computer systems. Turns out,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], the perpetrators behind the operation want the device to destabilise the world economy and unleash anarchy.
Then again in the action movie Live Free or Die Hard (2007), Bruce Willis fights cyber terrorists who want to take control of the US' transportation grids (including airports,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url], railroads, and traffic lights) and the stock markets.
Consider this. Recent media reports suggest that CBI believes a possible virus attack could have been the reason for the technical problems at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi,[url=http://duveticashop.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], in June. Delhi International Airport Ltd blamed it on a back-end server glitch. The `glitch' brought down the passenger processing system at the airport for several hours, and delayed flights on that particular day.
Another report by IT security firm Trend Micro has warned that Indian defence companies are the current target of cybercriminals. Last month, Trend Micro researchers claimed to have unearthed a campaign of targeted attacks that compromised defence industry companies in India, the US, Japan and Israel.
Eyeing the StateBut what really deepened the worry lines was McAfee's report on how Government agencies across the world are being targeted by hackers. In early August,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], the security vendor claimed that an Indian Government agency was among 72 global organisations that were hacked. The report did not reveal the identity of the Indian agency nor country from where the originated. But it said that the lasted for two months starting September 2010. The entire investigation was spread over a period of five years. Other parties included the US Federal Government agency, US State Governments,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], Canadian Government agency and South Korean Government agency.
increasing complexity of IT systems has expanded the surface area open for attack, says Mr Sanjay Bahl, Chief Security Officer of Microsoft Corporation India. sophistication of malware used for attacks is increasing and there is a lack of awareness about the risks among the users and policy makers,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], he adds.
Treading carefullyIn fact, there are times when even the simplest of tactics can succeed in sabotaging networks. Today, most Government departments and citizen services delivery agencies are hooked to the Internet. An innocent click on an unknown email attachment can download a hidden malware onto the computer and allow attackers to gain real-time control of the system,[url=http://duveticajacketswomenjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ激安[/b][/url], steal passwords or hack sensitive information. Further, even momentary outages in information systems in critical sectors like defence,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットメンズ[/b][/url], energy,[url=http://monclerdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]Günstige Moncler Jacken Moncler Jacke Online Moncler Daunenjacke Billig Deutschland[/b][/url], financial markets, space, telecom and transport could be chaotic.
Crisis ManagementOn its part, the Government has put in place a Crisis Management Plan' to protect IT infrastructure in critical sectors such as petroleum, aviation, banking, power and telecom.
The base document - prepared by the Department of IT in consultation with other departments in 2009 - outlines a strategy to deal with cyber attacks. It lists the role of various stakeholders including the Ministries and Departments as well as the contingency plan to deal with cyber attacks.
It also identifies crisis in the context of IT infrastructure - hacking,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url], phishing, malicious code attacks, of service' attacks,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], virus attacks, data centre disruptions, and even defacement of sites. The document talks about the guidelines for handling' and even the team structures that need to be in place.
The document is updated on an annual basis,[url=http://duveticajacketsonlinejp.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], said an official who did not wish to be named.
Taking off from this crisis management plan framework, as many as nine States (including Himachal Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh) and 14 Ministries (Civil Aviation Ministry, Department of Telecom,[url=http://duveticashoponline.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], Steel Ministry amongst others) have prepared their own documents and are in the process of implementing the same, the official said.
In addition,[url=http://woolrichusaonlineshop.blogspot.com/][b]woolrich usa online shop[/b][/url], the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team or CERT-In has been conducting mock drills to test the ability of various agencies and sectors to respond quickly to cyber attacks.
CERT-In is a nodal agency for responding to computer security incidents as and when they occur. So far, five sector specific mock drills have been conducted. The next one is slated for November this year.
That said,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカサイズ[/b][/url], given a growing roster of gadget-toting bureaucrats and Government employees,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], and the fact that Government departments themselves are readily embracing technology for day-to-day operations,[url=http://duveticajacketsshopjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], experts believe that cyber security needs to shift to a higher gear. Another big driver is the host of citizen services that are now moving online.
Starting from scratch
But there is no silver bullet. And so the approach has to be multi-pronged. More investments need to flow into technology, research and user awareness. departments that are just getting computerised, you need to tell employees that plugging pen drives into the computer may introduce a virus threat in the work environment. New users may not even be aware, saysVinoo Thomas, Technical Product Manager,McAfee Labs.
India needs to build cyber threat awareness programs even at the high school level, so students, when they start working, are aware of best security practices,[url=http://duveticaonline.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], adds Nath of Trend Micro.
Many industry experts feel that the Government needs to build a special team, led by and comprising of security specialists. This team of experts need to be empowered to take quick decisions in the event of a cyber attack.
attacks demand domain experts who can take charge,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], identify and analyse situations is lacking today, said an industry observer.
The industry also says that multiple Government agencies dealing with cyber security can, at times, pose a challenge. is CERT-In, the IT Department, NTRO and NIC. It is not clear as to who owns complete accountability for cyber security, said a cyber security veteran on conditions of anonymity.
Of course, where cyber security is involved,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗[/b][/url], one can never be too careful. Remember, when it comes to the chinks in the cyber amour, the potential victim needs luck by his side each time. For the attacker, just one lucky break is enough.
