It’s time to be proactive on cybersecurity
In light of recent cyberespionage, the breakup of cybercrime rings, and the threats that sophisticated malware such as Stuxnet present to critical infrastructures, McAfee Labs researchers and industry experts call for a more proactive strategy for fighting cybercrime. “Cybercriminals prosper because they have very little reason to fear the consequences,” said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee Labs. A new McAfee report, titled “Security Takes the Offensive,” is based on strategies compiled by international experts and issues a “call to arms” to the security industry.
