WISeKey Warns Developing Countries at the UN Human Rights Council Conference (UNHRC) About the Dangers of Cyber-Terrorism and Dependency on Cloud Computing
GENEVA, March 24, 2010-- WISeKey represented by its Founder and CEO Carlos Moreira shared a panel
at the UNHRC Session on Cyber-Terrorism, and freedom of expression. During
the presentation WISeKey demonstrated how Cyber-Terrorism is increasing
worldwide with the recent terrorist attacks. Many security experts and
companies like WISeKey protecting critical infrastructures are concerned
about the threat to critical assets in Government, the United Nations and
enterprises worldwide. WISeKey explained that while information security has
been a key concern since the proliferation of computer networks, the
increased levels of concern has prompted organizations such as the United
Nations to devote more resources and request assistance from the private
sector to combat this threat. Computers can be used as weapons and the effort
to improve computer security is driven by two contradictory forces, the
Internet needs to be open, its architecture is totally decentralized and the
Web was designed for different purposes, and software is essentially totally
unsecured allowing hackers and Cyber-Terrorist to find their way in.
During the presentation WISeKey demonstrated how the company is helping
governments around the world to secure their critical assets and
infrastructures and developing solution for the broader adoption of Trusted
Cloud Applications allowing developing countries to participate fully and
reduce dependency from centralized services in foreign countries.
The shift to cloud computing in developing countries and emerged
economies is fueled by the dramatic growth in business and e-government
collaboration, IP based devices, real-time data streams, and Web 2.0
applications such as streaming media and entertainment, social networking and
mobile commerce.
