In sharp increase in the Cybercrime. Supports the Clusit Report 2014 on computer security, which outlines a worrying situation globally. In addition to the Cybercrime among the most significant phenomena emerged during the first six months of 2014, there is the growth of the phenomenon of ‘hacktivism’ 29%, that is “antagonistic groups of various kinds which carry out disruptive activities on the web”, more and more of extraction not occidentale.nei first six months of 2014 which now accounts for 60% of the attacks analyzed (it was 36% in 2011). At the expense is mainly the government sector (26%), services cloud and Social Network (12%).
In 2013 – says the report – were classified as “serious and analyzed” 35 attacks against targets in the public domain Italian: representing 3% of the total sample of 1,152 incidents of 2013 In the first half of 2014, however, were detected only 7 serious attacks on 437 (1.6%). “To date, a number too low to produce meaningful statistics,” said Andrea Zapparoli Manzoni, co-author of the report along with a dozen experts.
Cyber criminals are developing more complex computer threats .
With regard to the Italian data, the report found that more than 70% of respondents believe that investment in security is insufficient, despite the expenditure is in line with that of other global realities, in average around 3% of the budget allocated to ‘computer.
Users and businesses are more and more connected, multiplying the risk of attack by criminals, political activists and government institutions “enemy.” It is no longer to fight viruses, adware, or any kind of harmful germ application to the pc but to defend themselves from dangers far more serious as the ‘interception of sensitive documents, the theft of patents, industrial espionage, theft of data related to customers, even the information circulating in health care systems and dialogue with customers, and finally the political interference and monitoring of personal activities and dell’aziendali for the purpose of fraud.
The only bright spot for the relationship covers a greater awareness of the risk, though often are not able to frame it clearly. The companies lend themselves more readily than in the past to the analysis of the security of their IT infrastructure and devices provided to its employees and adopt more often simulation systems similar to the footprint of military war games.
The month of Computer security is a campaign of ‘ European Union supported in all 27 member countries, held throughout October, to promote more of the public aware of the threats and ways to tackle them. The report Clusit has been prepared by a team of Italian experts. Sara ‘presented tomorrow at the Security Summit of Verona, an event organized by the Agency for European Cyber Security ENISA, with support for Italy’s Clusit.
