EC-Council notifies to implement Cyber Vaccination Programme at CISSE 2013
At the Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education (CISSE) 2013, EC-Council has warned leading figures in government, industry, and academic minds against the worsening effects of Cyber Plague and recommended them to introduce cyber vaccination programmes via secure coding education.
The event was hosted by the University of South Alabama in Mobile Bay on June 10, 2013.
Jay Bavisi, President, EC-Council, said, We have unknowingly followed on the same path as the pharma industry. We quarantined our networks from attacks via firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and intrusion prevention systems. When this was insufficient, we introduced cyber hygiene by introducing security awareness programmes, which introduced policies, processes, and controls.
He continued by linking the results of a recent national level secure coding competition being conducted in India with nearly five thousand participants, Code Uncode, to the continuing plague of insecurity. Findings from the preliminary rounds of Code Uncode competition decisively prove that there is a serious lack of knowledge in secure coding practices that could be a causative source of security breaches around the world.
The Colloquium is active throughout the year and will hold an annual conference in June.
