A Fool Gets Beaten Even in Internet

Security is freedom, Security is safety. It's almost impossible to say we have an unbreakable Security System or we are about to get one in the near future. When it come to my hometown, Bangladesh is a very fast developing country with a population of over 180 million. In this blog we will be analysing about the security situation of Bangladesh with respect to the formula of "KELVIN MITNCK"(Wellkown Security Consultant and Author). Hence, Security comes from Technology, Training, and Policy.set procedures and requirements

Technology

As we speak of technology most people in Bangladesh don't even own a computer , Yes, It might sound shocking but it's true, there are so many people who don't have their personal computer. and for the other majority, people don't have any proper Anti-virus or Firewalls installed in their computer by default and most of the time they are falling on their own trap by downloading malware from an unauthorized source which is named as any random free Anti-virus app. Other technology risks are like Large amount of shared broadband network, A high number of free software and apps are used and many of them are pirated, large NATed Ip network and also huge peer to peer network user. Network security is also really low and often people are connecting themselves through open unsafe network connection which is very very vulnerable to Security Breach. Even in many companies and organizations.

Training

CyberSecurity training is of crucial need, the internet user rate is increasing day by day but the users have no idea about the Security system. They know that they could be hacked but as there is lack of knowledge they don't know how, so they have no idea about the dos and don'ts. Social media security is the most vulnerable in Bangladesh and its because some amount of internet users are only using the internet for staying in social media and they are not aware of their security. They don't know about phishing attacks or which is a malicious link what to click or not. Due to lack of awareness people are often prey to Various types of Phishing & Scam attacks.
Recently mobile money transfer escalated at large rate which comes high level of risk.
For Instance, Bkash is a famous mobile banking company and hundreds of their customers got scammed over the phone when the attackers act to be calling from the Operating Office of the Mobile banking and ask there is a new update on security and they can do it remotely for you if you tell them your personal pin code and peoples actually felled for it and lost all their money. Besides this, a food delivery app without proper security checks also stoled data from the user's phone as they gave permission to their storage without even knowing what it could do

.

Policy

As it comes to my mind talking about the requirements and procedures is that. We need a high level of awareness and training seminars. People should have authorized Anti-Virus, Properly configured and patch operating system, browsers, and other software, regular update of firewalls, Protected access credentials, Security features in mobile phone should be properly introduced, People should be introduced to scam and other possible security risks  It should be made mandatory to all the organizations and companies that they should have a proper security policy.
