Awareness education for users and close cooperation between all technology firms is the key to cybercrime, said Microsoft 's security adviser.
Awareness education for users and close cooperation between all technology firms is the key to cybercrime, said Microsoft 's security adviser.
Speaking at the ongoing IT TechED Forum in Barcelona, Spain, Roger Halbheer said the number of operating system-based attacks has dropped significantly over time. However, hackers tend to increase the exploitation of vulnerabilities within the application.
Increasingly sophisticated
Source: CNET " The weakest link in the security system is the user, and more than anyone, hackers understand that. Fraud tricks, attracting their victims are increasingly sophisticated ," Halbheer said. .
In the past half year alone, the number of phishing attacks has increased to . 500%. The number of Trojans also increased by 150%.
" The key to solving this problem is to have cooperation between all parties, from the manufacturer, the security community, the governments of the countries to the users themselves.
We must be trained in basic knowledge of cybercrime identification, watch out and be alert to suspicious signs, after all following their tracks . "
While still facing numerous challenges in destroying cybercrime, Halbheer believes that the police forces of the countries have a better understanding of online crime, as well as how cyber gangs work. .
" Recent studies show that countries with closer cooperation between governments and businesses are less vulnerable. Businesses are always comfortable asking for help and guidance from the government. ".
Put in school

Users need to take basic security measures to protect themselves . "
" I think students need to learn how to install antivirus programs and the habit of turning on firewalls right from school, " Halbheer said.
" The age to teach security knowledge is as small as possible. Thus, new security becomes an immutable habit ."
However, the biggest barrier to teaching security in schools is that children are more technologically familiar than both parents and their teachers.
" Traditional education models will become useless and counterproductive. Adults need to find a new way to raise children. They have to make security a part of their lives, helping children. understand what bad things can happen when subjective, careless ".
Of course, the responsibilities and responsibilities of teachers will be more and more severe. " They have to teach about sex, how to prevent AIDS, teach children . now they have to take on more security ".
"Bringing security to life is a time-consuming process. Everyone wants to be successful in a short time, but think of it as the" long-awaited ant with the nest, "Halbheer concluded.
