Catastrophic vision of the future, by Jevgienii Kaspersky


Kaspersky, CEO and co-founder of Kaspersky Lab, warned at the second conference, the Digital Agenda Assembly in Brussels against a growing threat in the modern world, which is Cyberwarfare. Kasperski prophetic transport us back to the horse and lighting with candles.
Kasperski noted that the problems of cybercrime meet the growing international response. At the same time outlined a "doomsday scenario", which according to him, could have a disastrous impact on society - and which could be prevented by a radical change in thinking about online protection for industrial systems and key infrastructure points. After a speech given at a joint meeting of the European Commission and the European Parliament Kasperski said:
"The governments and independent organizations, such as UN-IMPACT and Interpol, have realized the scale of cybercrime and have partnered in order to combat this threat.'s Good news. Yet bad news is that this software is now also used as cyberbroń, which can destroy the physical objects in the same way as conventional weapons. Affected systems are industry, transport and power, factories and military facilities.
It's scary: if fulfilled one of the worst-case scenario, we could go back hundreds of years - horse transport, reading paper books, traditional mail or by means of candles lighting .... The worst thing is that in the case of protection against this type of attack is not possible. It is necessary to redesign the entire software for industrial systems, which could take 10-20 years, and is a kind of 'mission impossible'. "
