Transcript of Valuendo cyberwar and security (jan 2012) handout
How vulnerable are you
to cyber attack?
Cybersecurity threats
• Cyber-criminals
• Malware
• Phishers
• Spammers
• Negligent staff
• Hackers
• Unethical employees misusing/misconfiguring security functions
• Unauthorized access, modification, disclosure of information
• Nations attacking critical information infrastructures
• Technical advances that can render encryption algorithms obsolete
Cyberattacks are
DIFFICULT to execute.
Lessons learned so far
Governments do have
the resources/skills to conduct
cyberattacks.
Lessons learned so far
Cyberwarfare is
"the fifth domain of
warfare“
“Cyberspace is a new domain in warfare which has
become just as critical to military operations as
land, sea, air and space.”
“Actions to penetrate computers or networks for the
purposes of causing damage or disruption.”
Information warfare is
“using & managing IT in
the pursuit of a
competitive advantage
over an opponent“
Cyberattacks are a real, clear and present danger to organisations & government
agencies.
Lessons learned so far
“It’s possible that hackers have gotten into
administrative computer systems of utility
companies, but says those aren’t linked to the
equipment controlling the grid, at least not in
developed countries.
I have never heard that the grid itself has been
hacked.”
Howardt Schmidt, Cyber-Security Coordinator of the US
Targeted organizations are unprepared.
Lessons learned so far
Security professionals are at risk.
Lessons learned so far
Risk always exists! (whether or not it is
detected / recognised by the organisation).

spend on security technology. If you don’t have
people trained properly, I’m going to get in if I
want to get in.”
