Brazil a major cyber security risk ahead of Rio Olympics

i hope they have at least engage some security experts/auditors to do a comprehensive audit first. risky man, imagine they meddle with?ÿthe timing for the winners. not fair right.

it would be interesting to see how the Games goes and what ATOS would be doing in terms of cyber security for the Games. There will be hiccups and it will be up to the team to be more cyber resilient during this period of time.

Interesting to note is that Banff Cyber Technologies has provided the recent SEA Games / Asean Para Games with their WebOrion Web Defacement Monitoring and Restorer solution in the event that there is some "meddling with the timing for the winners".

hi shaun, is the weborion restorer 100% fool proof? meaning can a hacker still hack through ?

There have been plenty of concerns in the news over BrazilŸ??s readiness to host this yearŸ??s summer Olympics, ranging from the Zika virus and political unrest to poor ticket sales.

A new report from BitSight Technologies highlights cyber security concerns too with security performance of companies in Brazil among the worst in the developed nations, meaning business dealings in this region could come with serious risk.

BitSight researchers analysed the security performance of a random sample of 250 companies per country from the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Germany, China and Brazil. They used this information to create a Security Rating taking into account things like machine compromise rates, SSL vulnerabilities, peer-to-peer file sharing, email security protocols and more.

Among the studyŸ??s findings are that companies based in Brazil have the lowest aggregate Security Rating, while companies in the UK and Germany have the highest. Brazil and the US have the poorest performance when it comes to preventing and mitigating botnet infections, with Germany and the UK once again performing best.

Major SSL vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, POODLE and FREAK continue to affect organizations within all countries included in the study. Peer-to-peer file sharing is common across all countries included in the study, except Germany. Also, China, Brazil and Germany have a higher proportion of poorly configured email security protocols, such as SPF and DKM.

hi, i guess as we speak there is currently no 100% fool proof system as we speak. even microsoft has to keep patching and as such it would be pretty awkward to show a maintenance page while the web server is taken off line. ?ÿThe Restorer is a system which provides web presence and the web server still needs to come back online as the Restorer plays the part of a replica.

@shaun can you share a little on how the Restorer plays the replica? wld like to find out more. tks
