  1. Taking responsibility for the Internet Eugene Kaspersky, CEO & co-founder, Kaspersky Lab

  2. Reasons for E-Crime • It’s profitable • 9 million USD worldwide ATM hack – in only 30 minutes • Cash exchange machine hacks – $800 to 1.2M rub ($35K) • Sumitomo Bank £229M hack • Easy to do • It’s simple – technically speaking • No physical contact with victims • Modern Operating System design is flexible and insecure (!) • Low risk business • Gaps in legislation, serious gaps in some cases • Victims rarely inform police about crimes • Difficult to trace anonymous professionals (!) • Cybercrime crosses international borders (!!!)

  3. Reason #1 – Profit Limit Internet services? Unreal

  4. Reason #2 – Security vs. Flexibility • Modern OSes • Flexible and insecure • Secure OS design • Only trusted applications are allowed to run • SW vendors must get certificate for apps • Definitely not the SW vendor-oriented scenario • Result: less products and services • Security loses versus Flexibility • Yesterday: MS Windows vs. IBM OS/2 and Novell Netware • Today: “GooglePhone” vs. iPhone and BlackBerry

  5. Reason #3 – Law Enforcement • The Internet – just another public network • We have many networks: transportation network, electricity, water supplies, etc. • All public networks have regulation and ‘policemen’ • All public networks ‘register’ their customers in some way • Except one: The Internet • Anonymity – is the key issue • Only trusted applications are allowed to run (see prev. slide) • all Internet users must be trusted • SW vendors must get certificate for apps • Internet passports for all Internet users • Security must win versus Flexibility

  6. Designing a Safe e-World • Internet Regulation • Internet Passports for individuals • Accreditation for businesses • Temporary storage of necessary requests • There are many questions, but this is the only way • Internet Police aka Internet-Interpol • International police collaboration • Internet Government • To coordinate the Secure Internet project

  7. Internet Government • Global Network Security • Global regulation, local/regional coordination • Transparent Internet-money system • Quick adoption of local laws for the volatile e-World • Safe coding standards for SW industry • Users/business education • Internet-ional Projects • To secure free services: ICQ, Wiki, Skype, etc.

  8. The Safe e-World • No more malware? • Of course not, there will always be professional criminals... • BUT – an Internet Government will stop most of them • Stop spam, botnets and DDoS attacks • Stop illegal content (XXX, pirated media, …) • Stop Internet fraud • Stop organized crime and terrorists from using Internet for communication

  9. The last pessimistic slide When? Never… … after some serious regional or global incidents

  10. The last optimistic slide iCriminals need… a dedicated prison! What about iCatraz?
