Cyber-security breaches are inevitable, says F-Secure
Summary
ENTERPRISES operating in today’s highly connected world must make cyber-defence and detection a top priority rather than believe that they are impervious to any form of cyber-attack, according to Finland-based cyber-security company F-Secure Corp. The event comprised a site visit to F-Secure’s headquarters and a conference presenting keynotes and panels by international and Finnish experts aimed at discussing problem solving strategies and solutions for cyber-security professionals. Konttinen said the situation is exacerbated by the fact that some of the tools cyber-criminals use today arent designed by these criminals but by intelligence agencies of nation states, which have advanced, military-grade cyber-security capabilities. Rik Fugerson, vice president of research at Trend Micro, noted that current security practitioners like to believe that they’ve invested in the right technology, built the right processes and are managing their information properly. The chief security researcher at F-Secure related a case in the United Kingdom where one legitimate real estate business wanted to acquire another, and were going back and forth making changes to a legal contract via Microsoft Office 365.
