Recently, I read an article written by Eva Yeong on the Sun daily newspaper (www.sundaily.com) entitled Need to enhance IT security, it is a very interesting article regarding the need to make the internet a safer place for the citizens of Malaysia.
Recently, computer & networks security giants 'KASPERSKY' has launched a research center in University of Technology Mara (UiTM). This academical program helps in the exchange of cyber security knowledge and the innovational rising threats that is going on over the internet. People have found new ways of attacking systems. For instance, Kaspersky mentions that malwares are now capable of making money rather than just simple mischief and ATMs are being hit with Trojan viruses and enabling criminals to total access to money. The criminals are getting smarter and find new ways of cracking systems. And thus the Kaspersky Research Center Academy provides a strong base to build a much more secure internet environment. It offers various basic training courses, in depth specialized courses, internship courses and many more.
Launching of the Kaspersky Research Center
Kaspersky says that all these criminal activities is going on due to vast anonymous internet users, he says. "To design a safer e-World we need better Internet regulation, such as Internet Passports for individuals, accreditation for businesses, and temporary storage of necessary requests, whilst there is also a need for what I term an Internet-Interpol
which will see more international police collaboration on cybercrime" Kaspersky encouraged more Malaysians to participate in the programmes offered through the Kaspersky Academy as a starting point to careers in the secure content management solutions industry.
Kaspersky Academy is already running worldwide in many countries and has 20,000 experts and affliated experts to help in the developme
nt of cyber security.
