Hey Frenzz...
Executive Assistant to the Director of the FBI spoke candidly about the problems in the fight against hackers. "We did not win this war," - said Shawn Henry (Shawn Henry), who is responsible for directing the FBI to combat cybercrime.
Sean Henry worked for the FBI for over twenty years, and soon is going to go to another job in the field of computer security (apparently, a private company). He said the current situation in the confrontation with the hackers can be characterized as "unstable." Computer criminals are just too talented and too good to take protective measures that they can be stopped, he said.The characterization of the current situation in the field of computer security, Sean Henry stated in connection with hearings in Congress about the necessary measures to protect critical U.S. infrastructure from potential hacker attacks. Now Congress is considering two conflicting proposals on this score. At the same time, independent experts have expressed the view that none of the proposed measures do not provide reliable protection of computer networks and systems, industrial SCADA, security issues are becoming critical.Shawn Henry, believes that companies must radically change their approach to computer security, they do not fully understand the risks that arise in connection with the vulnerability of networks. According to him, companies should realize that provide absolute protection is impossible. "I do not see how we can get rid of this problem, without changes in technology or in our behavior, because at the current state of affairs is unsustainable. Unstable in the sense that you will never go forward, never can to protect, will never have a reasonable expectation of privacy or security ", - said Sean Henry. Obviously, he feels powerless to change anything in the situation where no computer in the country can not be called truly secure.Shawn Henry says that during the various investigations into the FBI is constantly confronted with information about hacking various commercial companies - private information from their networks is circulating in the hacker community for months, sometimes years. When the FBI shall notify the company about the fact of burglary, the victim usually experiences a shock, and is in utter confusion, that is months or years of their network was open to hackers, and they even had no idea about it. This happens quite often, said Sean Henry. And even if management understands the seriousness of the problem and arrange for protective measures, they are never enough - there will always be a weapon against which defense does not hold out.According to the statistics of Mandiant, which is engaged in information security, 94% of companies are not compromised in the course of the incident until such time as they were not specifically notified of this. The average of the median number of days between the introduction of computer network attacks and the discovery of the fact is 416 days.
