On the same day, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced a short statement condemning this attack. Dmitri Alperovitch, vice president of threat investigation at McAfee in cybersecurity, named this attack "Aurora Action". According to a survey by McAfee Labs, "Aurora" is part of the file path on the attacker's computer and is contained in two malware binaries that McAfee claims to be related to the attack. George Kurtz, Chief Technology Officer at McAfee, says:
Network security is the center and the way to protect the state of the computer. The overall level of network security support, including applications, workstations, routers, data, and permissions is part of the concept of cyber security threat interception. "Network space" which is in contact with the Internet and intranet is not only a highway of digital data but also a playground of cyber criminals.
Cyber attacks are increasing all over the world as the value of online migration progresses and the spread of digital data has progressed. According to the cyber security venture investment report, the global cyber security market in 2004 was worth $ 3.5 billion and the estimate in 2017 exceeded $ 120 billion in 2004. The cyber security market has grown by about 35 times over 13 years due to cyber crime activity that has never been before. McMaster University survey estimates that 7 million Canadians will be victims of identity theft in 2011 and the annual cost of identity theft in Canada will be close to $ 1.9 billion. It is estimated that in 2015, 86% of large Canadian organizations were subjected to cyber attacks. According to reports from Canada and around the world, cyber attacks have succeeded in stealing industry and country secrets, personal data and other valuable information.
Network security is a serious problem. Identity Management The impact of network security vulnerability could affect employee productivity and morale, IT network, and corporate reputation. The threat of cyber security is currently occurring at an astounding rate. When cyber security attempts occur, organizational information and IT networks are attacked by complex and organized forces that represent an unprecedented information security risk and workplace confusion.
Recognizing cyber security is not easy. In fact, cyber security is a very large field including many fields such as "threat detection", "network security" and so on. It is difficult to imagine the knowledge to understand and respond to cyber threats, which requires much effort. This is one of the main challenges of spreading awareness about cyber security in general. There is no benchmark method for consciousness of network security and there is no shortcut. This is a continuous learning and understanding process.
