Internet Security Market to Reap Excessive Revenues by 2026 Dagoretti News - Dagoretti News

Thursday, 16 January 2020

Security concerns saw exactly 44% of EU citizens trying to limit their private use of the internet during 2018, results from an information and communications technology survey carried out in the first quarter of 2019 by Eurostat reveal.

When asked about issues related to accessing the internet on any connected device, including desktops, laptops, tablets or smartphones, a total of 44% of EU citizens between the ages of 16 to 74 responded that they had limited their private use of the internet over the previous 12 months, a statement explains.

These limits were directly inspired by security-related concerns, with 24% of interviewees indicating that they had experienced some sort of online security-related problem in the past year.

One in four EU citizens indicated in the survey that they avoided giving personal information to social or professional networking sites on the basis of being concerned about personal security, with 26% indicating that they had experienced phishing related security problems, and 13% indicating the same but in relation to security problems connected to pharming.

Where Belgian interviewees are concerned, 28% of people said they limited the amount of personal information they provided to social or professional networking services- above the European average of 25% of people. A total of 22% of Belgians claim to have experienced phishing-related security problems.

In addition, 19% of EU citizens claimed to have limited their use of public wifi, 17% of people downloaded less music and apps and 16% limited the number of goods and services that they bought online.

Security fears saw nearly half of Europe use the internet less during 2018 - The Brussels Times

Todays rapidly growing global network of internet of things (IoT) devices brings with it new levels of convenience to the lives of everyday consumers. In late 2019, one survey conducted by Parks Associates found that the average person in the U.S. owns as many as eight connected devices, and the number is expected to climb to 13 by 2022. The smart speaker market alone Amazon Alexa and Google Home grew from 66.7 million devices in December 2017 to 118.5 million devices just one year later. It seems just about every type of home appliance or gadget has added network connectivity in the past few years. Everything from cars, house locks, climate control systems, and even hair straighteners are just a few examples of devices that are now connected to a network or mobile application to make life more convenient.

However, as the development of IoT devices accelerates, the risk of a cyberattack accelerates as well. Research and development teams must work diligently to place data security at the core of connected device designs. Recent headlines have brought unwanted attention to IoT devices being compromised or vulnerabilities being discovered. Automation has led to the rise of smart homes that can be unlocked and accessed through vulnerabilities in the connected mobile applications found on many smartphones. Cars can even be accessed through the infotainment system, as demonstrated at a recent hacking contest when a group of hackers gained access to a Tesla 3.

But the reach of IoT extends far beyond the household appliances that are spurring the home automation movement. The current state of urban planning is increasingly exploring ways of incorporating automation and connectivity. Power grids, water lines and natural gas lines are being updated with state-of-the-art monitors to immediately alert city services when deviations are identified, ensuring that services are not disrupted. London, for example, operates the largest number of CCTV cameras in the world many of which are connected to the cloud. These cameras can be used to detect everything from traffic jams to ruptured sewer or water lines. In one example, the impact to public safety was recently measured in a 2017 study published in the Journal of Safety Research that found car crash rates were 21 per cent lower in cities with red light cameras installed and active at signalised intersections in over 100 large U.S. cities.

As government services look to maximise efficiency and public safety through automation, connected devices will continue to become more prevalent with bulk data analysis and collection a primary focus. However, these systems are not completely immune from the cybersecurity risks similar to those that continue to plague smart home devices. Real-world cybersecurity threats designed to target municipalities, for example, include identity theft, ransomware attacks such as those recently seen in Atlanta and Baltimore or a complete shutdown of government services to disrupt the lives of ordinary citizens.

One of the biggest challenges faced by the IoT industry today is finding internal consensus on an appropriate level of security for the manufacturing and the development of smart devices. Ideally, security should be a fundamental building block during the design phase of development. Secure smart systems should include the ability to quickly detect any anomalies or threats before bad actors have the opportunity to cause irreplaceable damage both to the user and the brand reputation of the manufacturer and/or developer.

Another key element in protecting connected devices is designing a product that, once an attack is detected, immediately isolates the infected device to contain the attack and minimise any resulting damage. Fortunately, the real-time data analytics currently available can identify these threats and prevent one bad apple from spoiling the bunch, while also ensuring that other products are protected from the attack as soon as recognised. It also is important for product designers and developers to understand that wireless carriers continue to roll out 5G networks that will only bring more and more efficiency and cost-effective connectivity. It will be critical that IoT network devices remain secure as the rapid exchange of data between devices and servers will only increase exponentially, putting even more pressure on security analytics scalability.

Manufacturers are setting out to create products that are designed to make life more efficient and safer, but notable risks are cause for concern despite convenience. To futureproof IoT networks, it is critical for connected device manufacturers and developers to focus on security from day one and as a foundational design element rather simply relegate it to a check-box item later down the road. By designing connected devices with security embedded at the foundation, all stakeholders -- manufacturers, customers, and retailers -- will be able to reap the benefits of IoT with peace of mind that personal data and privacy are not at risk of being exposed by hackers.

It's not just President Trump's tweets in Farsi.

Complementing the president's rhetorical support for Iranian protesters, the U.S. government is engaged in less public programs to help Iranian protesters now taking to the streets. They provide the positive counterpoint to Trump's excesses, such as his recent threat to Iranian cultural sites.

The critical point here is that this is about giving Iranians the tools to campaign for their own freedom and future, rather than interfering with Iranian domestic politics or instigating protests. The U.S. programs are not a 1953 coup part deux, but a provision to help those already on the streets struggle for their freedom.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is the point man for these efforts, centered at the State Department and the U.S. intelligence community.

The story begins in early 2017, with then-CIA director, Pompeo. Determined to escalate the CIA's activities against Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's regime, Pompeo unified Iran operations under a specific mission center and aggressively minded chief. What followed were successful U.S. operations to obstruct Iranian nuclear activities, contest the regime's external activities, recruit Iranian officials (including senior officials), and identify those behind the repression of Iran's population. The mission center's activities now define Pompeo's push to see the CIA accept greater operational risks. The current director, Gina Haspel, has continued in this vein.

Pompeo again emphasized Iran operations on becoming secretary of state. And today, alongside its counterproliferation and counterterrorism activities, the United States now has significant human rights centered programs to help Iranians. While Britain's MI6 and France's DGSE actively work with the U.S. intelligence community on counterproliferation and counterterrorism issues, these human rights programs are something that the U.S. does largely alone.

One element involves assisting satellite streaming services in penetrating extensive Iranian censorship platforms. But a key focus is helping protesters to get their messages out. Iranian activists have shown courage and skill in rapidly getting videos out onto the internet during major crackdowns. But they face real challenges. So to give them a helping hand, sources tell me that the U.S. facilitates access to virtual private networks that allow internet connectivity outside of censor constraint. These VPNs transmit data through encrypted internet tunnels, protecting users from Iranian counterintelligence activities to detect and disrupt them.

But what happens when Iran's government shuts down the nation's internet service entirely, as during the November 2019 energy price protests?

Well, Iranian activists have to travel to Iran's border areas to jump on foreign networks. But a new development, as one senior administration official tells me, is that the U.S. has enabled protesters to get their messages out even "when the internet is shutdown." The official emphasized that while this effort is limited in scale, it is a positive work in progress.

The administration's countering of Iranian oppression doesn't begin and end with assistance to the protesters.

The U.S. intelligence community also provides secured communication platforms revamped following disastrous security breaches to allow its Iranian government sources to provide timely intelligence without compromising themselves. This allows U.S. officials to quickly learn the nature and human cost of Iranian security crackdowns. An important advantage in the context of the Iranian regime's particular penchant for deception.

Ultimately, we should be clear-eyed about what this effort represents. The U.S. is better enabling Iranians to get their message out to the world and petition for better lives. This is not aggressive U.S. interventionism in the vein of armed support for anti-regime groups. It is human rights advocacy in digital form.

How the Trump administration is secretly assisting Iranian protesters - Washington Examiner

The first votes of the presidential election will be tabulated after the Iowa caucuses next month using the sort of internet-connected system that worries election security experts. They say preventing the sort of interference that sullied the 2016 election should be more of a priority than speed in compiling the returns.

But the Iowa Democratic Party plans to deploy a smartphone app to officials running the caucuses across the state for use in calculating and transmitting the results the night of Feb. 3. Putting such vote totals into cyberspace makes them readily vulnerable to nefarious hacking.

Party leaders say they are aware of the potential problems but believe their system will repel them. If that doesn't happen, the opening round of the intense contest for the Democratic nomination will be condemned to global ridicule.

The aim of the new app is to get the caucus results to the public quicker, Troy Price, the chairman of the state party, told Iowa Public Radio. He declined to detail how the app was designed, or by who, or what has been done to guarantee security.

He said the state party worked with the national party's cybersecurity team, and with Harvard University's Defending Digital Democracy project. But Price declined to say whether any third party has investigated the app for vulnerabilities, as many cybersecurity experts recommend.

Unlike many states in which local and state officials oversee presidential primaries, in Iowa the responsibility for administering, staffing and funding the caucuses rests with the state party, which in turn relies mainly on unpaid volunteers.

The Iowa Democrats' plan is for caucus leaders to compile the results from the in-person gatherings and send them to party headquarters in Des Moines using their smartphone apps assuming the software works and the network does not become overwhelmed or compromised. In the past, making a telephone call was the default method, and phones will still be used as a backup this time.

Because caucusing and the climactic vote counting in hundreds of locations are open to the public, it's highly unlikely a hack to alter the results would go unnoticed. But the damage to the public confidence in the 2020 elections would likely be catastrophic.
