International Safer Internet Day – Expreso (Peru)

E l International Safer Internet Day and Safer Internet Day (SID) is an event held each year in February, the second day of the second week, here Tuesday February 9, 2016, to promote safer and more responsible use of technology, smartphones and internet, especially among children and young people around the world.

According to Juan Jose Calderon, manager of Data Center and Security Level 3 Peru, there are a number of causes of the vulnerability of information on the Internet.

individual efforts are not enough. One company is unable to contain an attack or breach of security, according to the Information Security Report published recently by Cisco, where he helped the Research Laboratory Cyber ​​Threat Level 3. As part of this study, is noteworthy that, globally, the time for a company to identify its safety has been compromised going from 100 to 200 days after the attack occurred, and in many cases the minority interest in the detection and isolation is necessary that infringement.

there is greater concern about the impact of loss / information security in enterprises, with greater awareness of the risk that exists before a leak of confidential information, interruptions service, “kidnapping” of information (ransomware). Cases of ransomware took most notably in 2015: an application takes control of the user’s machine by limiting access to your information, and requesting payment of a “rescue” to regain access to your files. The impact of this activity is that it is no longer primarily aimed at large corporations but is an activity that potentially affects all Internet users, both individuals and companies.

It is important that people and businesses are aware of the responsibility to implement measures to incorporate the culture of information security in our daily activities, complementing the participation of third party security experts to reduce the risk of breach of it.
