Cyber attacks have always been a
very serious threat to the people whether its customers dealing with on-line
transactions, businesses both offering, selling or buying on-line products or
services. Companies with many servers and very huge databases aimed at storing
lots of private user data such as Banks and Government Agencies with high
amount of sensitive data and information that can’t afford to ever get
compromised. But now cyber crimes have been on the high rise and worst hackers are
getting far more sophisticated and now it poses a very serious threat to the White
House and the Government of America.
Don’t you think that it’s about time
for the Government to take the proper initiative with this issue?
Well according to
(eandt.theiet.org/new/2015/feb), it’s said that, “President Barack
Obama has held a summit on cyber security
and consumer protection with top industry figures such as Apple, Facebook etc to
encourage companies to share more information about cyber security threats with
the government.” This sounds like a great approach the government is finally
taking action and beefing up security with both customers and business while
educating them about various security threats is the right way to go when
dealing with security concerns.
It also states that most of the companies
have sent their top information security executives. The main idea of the
president was to bring tech companies, law enforcement, consumer and other
entities that specialize in the area to make sure that issues and solutions to
the problem handled properly.
Such a good initiative that was
took by the president by collaborating with these companies and businesses in a
effort to work together to increase or enhance cyber security for business and
for the people was a very good approach to solving the cyber threats and other
cyber related issues by collaborating and improving their infrastructure by
sharing ideas and solutions is a good step the president took.
