Managed Internet Security, The New Home Business
By Warren Franklin
Managed Security is the future of individual, home and small computer protection. Today’s over-the-counter and free solutions from Internet providers aren’t keeping up with cyber-crime opening the door for a huge computer security opportunity for non-tech and tech savvy people.
I’m Warren Franklin, a home-computer security advocate. I became caught up in computer security about two-and-a-half years ago. Prior to getting involved, like most people, I thought the over-the counter, free and shareware products were good enough to protect someone like myself.
When friends, family and associates found out I was building a computer security business, many told me I was getting into a dead end business. Especially since I am not a computer security technician. They said sooner than later someone will discover a solution to this computer security problem. When that happens I would be on the outside looking in.
Yet this year, from every report I have read, is the worst ever when it comes to cyber-crime. Over $65 Billion in cyber-crime occurred last year and the numbers are forecast to go up this year.
Identity theft is out of control. The FBI says nine out of ten businesses were impacted by cyber-crime in 2005. 100 million Americans are vulnerable with their personal information jeopardized due to data breaches. Over nine million ID’s have been stolen every year since 2001.
Computer crime has become big business. Hackers have turned from curiosity to money using aggressive fraud and theft tactics. As a result, the computer security has become big business, too.
Here is information from the latest surveys and reports:
·Symantec recently reported that over six million computers around the world are under the control of hackers spewing out Spam, Trojan horses and other spyware.
·Sophos (a corporate computer security company in the Great Britain) stated in January 2007 over 7,000 new viruses and spyware were detected on the Internet.
·90 percent of all e-mails around the world are Spam according to Postini, a San Carlos, California based e-mail security firm. They reported that Internet Spam volumes increased by 60 percent in September and October of last year. The volume of Internet Spam is one of the measures of Internet crime.
It’s apparent that the over-the-counter and free security solutions from Internet providers aren’t keeping up with the crisis. A Yankee group report stated that 99 percent of companies had anti-virus technology installed, however 62 percent of the companies suffered successful virus attacks. Meanwhile, Australia’s Computer Emergency Response Team says the two most popular and deployed anti-virus products fail to prevent 80 percent of new viruses.
Spyware detection has become the number one concern according to computer security administrators. Many are saying the problem is 100% worse than a year ago. Spyware requires a different code than anti-virus solutions use. Anti-virus and signature codes that
