World’s Biggest Wonder

• We all know death..but think it will not meet us and never plan death strategy.
• Likewise most of people and Companies don’t see themselves as attractive targets for hackers. And never plan strategy to handle it.
• We never accept that we have been breached. We learn this suddenly when data is lost of Police arrives our door in search of ,someone who we may not now.

​

Cyber space �touches our daily lives

• Cyberspace touches nearly every part of our daily lives through broadband networks, wireless signals, local networks, and the massive grids that power our nation.
• Telecom is the backbone of all the critical business, such as banking, telecommunications, defense, power, aviations, transport etc..Needs dedicated strategy to make it safe
• Defending against and defeating cyber attacks need combined efforts of both the public and private sectors, working to develop new technologies and new approaches, for maintaining real-time protection of their individual networks.
• With most of the business using open source due to cost implications, the cyber threat not just becomes a reality but lethal for the business. 

Cyber…Most Profitable

• Cyber thieves who steal credit and debit card numbers are selling it for millions of dollars. (Thomas J Holt, Michigan State University criminologist and lead investigator}
• On average, a batch of 50 stolen credit or debit cards can make a seller between about $250,000 and $1 million. Buyers can make between $2 million (if only 25 per cent of the cards worked) and nearly $8 million (if all cards worked).
• In the past two years, there have been hundreds of data breaches involving customer information, some very serious like the Target breach in 2013.
