1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,100
Humans are social beings.

2
00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:08,190
This has always been our characteristic feature something that makes humans stand out.

3
00:00:08,260 --> 00:00:13,190
And for every society there have always been groups of people who break social rules and flout them

4
00:00:13,190 --> 00:00:14,610
for their own purposes.

5
00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:24,290
Think of the Wild West or the Prohibition era the same scenario as seen in the world of computer systems.

6
00:00:24,340 --> 00:00:28,990
It would be really naive to think that the Internet would somehow be exempt from the same criminal mechanisms

7
00:00:28,990 --> 00:00:31,300
that can be witnessed everywhere else.

8
00:00:32,270 --> 00:00:35,660
Crooks and outlaws existed from the beginning of history.

9
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:36,700
They simply disappear.

10
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:40,530
Now unfortunately this is not the case.

11
00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:46,280
They seem to have found a niche for themselves just like the rum runners of the prohibition and exploit

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,870
it without remorse.

13
00:00:48,890 --> 00:00:49,790
What's even worse.

14
00:00:49,790 --> 00:00:56,000
They're becoming more and more effective and this is the main reason why the security of computer systems

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,230
is lately in decline.

16
00:00:57,230 --> 00:01:03,590
Instead of improving Eighty five percent is an important number.

17
00:01:03,790 --> 00:01:08,500
This is the percentage of attacks which are vectored in ways that render your typical protection measures

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:14,740
such as anti-virus scanners software upgrades for both operating systems and in solid applications or

19
00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:17,500
constantly enabled firewalls essentially useless

20
00:01:20,210 --> 00:01:24,890
these attacks are performed either internally locally or through social engineering.

21
00:01:25,750 --> 00:01:31,600
Tricks and techniques that manipulate people in both cases these attacks cannot be stopped by the protection

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,030
measures.

23
00:01:32,050 --> 00:01:36,970
I've just listed 85 is also an important number for other reasons.

24
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:44,120
The mentioned security measures firewalls updates and scanners are all important.

25
00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:47,310
They should be enabled and supported on all systems.

26
00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:50,080
It's not true that they bring no real results.

27
00:01:50,220 --> 00:01:54,320
At the very least you can pretend you're protected.

28
00:01:54,450 --> 00:01:56,310
Don't make yourself an easy target.

29
00:01:56,340 --> 00:02:01,350
Not having these protections is like leaving your car running with your keys in it in an unknown district.

30
00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:05,140
At least close the door.

31
00:02:05,230 --> 00:02:09,610
The risk of theft is still high but at least you've done something to secure your resources.

32
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:17,770
And don't get me wrong I don't want you to get rid of your anti-virus scanner.

33
00:02:17,780 --> 00:02:22,020
On the contrary leave it enabled and update it often even every day.

34
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,990
The problem is that when cyber criminals decide that you have some valuable resources or your system

35
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:30,540
is for some other reason worth attacking.

36
00:02:30,750 --> 00:02:37,950
This scanner will fill 85 percent of the time the first module of course which I invite you to take

37
00:02:38,060 --> 00:02:44,960
will tell you above all which popular computer system security beliefs are actually myths myths that

38
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:55,240
originated or laziness custom's or from applying outdated information to new phenomena.

39
00:02:55,250 --> 00:03:00,590
It will also comment on security issues that stem from the rise of organized crime in cyberspace.

40
00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:06,640
Remember that there are companies set up in some countries which recruit programmers to create malicious

41
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:14,710
code running viruses has become a day job for some from 9 to 5.

42
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:21,970
These people sit in their cubicles and write code that you wouldn't want to come across in your systems.

43
00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:24,860
The module was to talk about cyber war and terrorism.

44
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:31,840
Two issues that have already become reality we've already been able to witness some instances of cyber

45
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:39,310
war another of our topics will be the consumerization of I-T and how it affects security.

46
00:03:40,210 --> 00:03:43,800
Risks and threats will also be covered in this first module.

47
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,200
We'll try to classify their types and discover why they affect virtually everyone.

48
00:03:49,550 --> 00:03:53,930
Unfortunately if you think that you wouldn't be the target of attacks because your business is small

49
00:03:53,930 --> 00:03:56,390
scale you only have six computers.

50
00:03:56,420 --> 00:04:01,610
Your monthly turnover is not big and you produce no new technologies so there's really nothing to be

51
00:04:01,610 --> 00:04:02,580
stolen.

52
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,650
Think again.

53
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,300
The real situation doesn't look so bright.

54
00:04:09,310 --> 00:04:14,470
The last issue will be covered in the point titled The final goal of attacks which explores the motives

55
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:17,230
which current cyber criminals might have to attack you.

56
00:04:19,940 --> 00:04:20,920
See you in the training.
