Technological advancements have facilitated governments across the world to archive data and records on online systems and devices. Massive computerization and perpetuation of Internet has helped many countries to move towards paperless economy. However, raising cybercrime and information warfare are threatening the basic utility of computers to store information. Countries such as United States, France and United Kingdom have large archives, which run into hundreds of miles. As such, Information security  has become a major challenge for all countries.

Researchers at Hong Kong Chinese University are exploring ways to store and encrypt information in bacteria. The research highlights the benefits of the emerging domain of bio storage, which deals with storage and encryption of information in living organisms. Usually, organizations use ethical hacking to find vulnerabilities and strengthen security infrastructure from data breaches. In this case, the researchers are endeavoring to store large datasets on E.coli bacterium, the familiar source of food poisoning. Earlier research primarily aimed to leverage the reproductive ability of bacteria, which may help in storing information in a group of single-celled organisms for hundreds and thousands of years. The young researchers at Hong Kong Chinese University are striving to devise mechanisms to store more complex information and overcome the limitations of storage capacity. The team of researchers has evolved a technique to compress and split data into small chunks. The mechanism allows distribution of data on various bacterial cells and also maps the DNA to easily locate specific information.

The research reveals that one gram of bacteria may store information equal to that stored by 450 hard disks of 2,000 Gigabytes. The research comes at a time when Information security professionals in US are finding ways to stop further WikiLeaks type revelations. The team has also devised an encoding mechanism with built-in feature, which offers protection against possible data corruption by mutations in few bacterial cells. As bacteria are resistant to cyber-attacks, the path breaking research has showed a new way to secure information.

The surge in cyber-attacks over the last year, use of cyber weapon such as Stuxnet on industrial installations and leakage of classified documents by WikiLeaks has made it inevitable for Internet security researchers to find new ways to deal with the challenges in the cyberspace. With the emergence of alleged state-sponsored cyber-attacks on rival countries has brought information warfare to the center stage. Information security has become a challenge for Governments worldwide. Countries have started revamping their IT security infrastructure to deal with threats of cybercrime, cyber espionage and cyber-attacks. Security researchers at Iowa State University are developing cyber-attacks to devise resistance and counter-offensive mechanisms. The research is being conducted by a group of electrical and computer engineering students of the University.

The researchers have created a test bed for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, which are used to monitor and control industrial installations. Through the test researchers endeavor to simulate a real-time cyber-attack scenario.  The test may help the researchers in assessing and analyzing the risks involved and devising protection mechanisms to safeguard critical national installations. The research has been partly sponsored by National Science foundation.

Information security professionals have been alerting the governments on the likely implication of a cyber-attack on crucial government, utility and military installations. Attackers may not only intrude into networks and gain access to privileged information but may also cause of denial-of-service attacks to disrupt operations. Advancements in technology have facilitated automation of operations at crucial installations such as power stations. However, automation has also made them vulnerable to cyber-attacks. A cyber-attack on a power grid may completely disrupt power supply creating chaos among people. An attack on telecommunications infrastructure may lead to complete breakdown of communications and severely impact business operations. Realizing the dangers of cyber warfare, many countries are establishing cyber commands to safeguard crucial industrial and infrastructural facilities.

The researchers are studying the implications of distributed denial-of-service attacks and intrusion attempts by hackers to corrupt or delete data. Little has been done to protect critical installations of private business organizations. Business organizations must regularly assess the threats by conducting security audits, ethical hacking and devise mechanisms to protect their systems and networks against all forms of cyber-attacks.

Organizations and individuals across the world lie exposed to various attacks on the Internet on a constant basis. While the Internet has made life easy for so many of them, it also makes us vulnerable from the attacks of unscrupulous people and organizations whose sole aim is to access and take control of our private and sensitive data. We should be completely aware of these risks and take proactive steps to ensure that we are adequately protected against such attacks. At the very beginning, it is highly recommended we go for a free vulnerability scan service and then opt for a Portable Penetrator Wifi Pen Testing. Both these will help us protect our data and keep us safe.

Our networks constantly lie vulnerable to outside attacks like viruses, worms, Trojans and spam. When we go for a vulnerability testing, we come to know the extent of vulnerability of our network and the recommended remedial actions that we can take. A free vulnerability scan service is a wonderful facility that checks the network vulnerability – when it is connected to the Internet. The free vulnerability scan service checks any public IP address that is connected to web servers and mail servers and also any other device connected to the WWW.

As an organization, we always want the trust of our customers. We would never want our sensitive customer data to fall into the hands of other people who can take advantage of the data. One fine morning, we may just discover that all our customers are getting unwanted mails or that their bank accounts have cleaned off without their knowledge. Any investigation will clearly reveal that the leak came from our database. The customers will simply lose faith and move away. They may also file lawsuits against us. But more than all this, we will lose face in the market and may be thrown out of business. A free vulnerability scan service is a proactive measure to ensure that this does not happen.

Many networks are now moving into Wifi. As with the normal networks, the Wifi networks are also exposed to threats. A Portable Penetrator Wifi Pen Testing does the job of cracking any Wifi network. A Portable Penetrator Wifi Pen Testing works in a similar way a hacker does and cracks WEP, WPA and WPA2 encrypted Wifi networks. The name may sound a little complex but it is very easy to install and use. It not only tells you the extent to which your Wifi network is safe but also tells you the process through which it cracked your network. It does a thorough vulnerability testing too and you can check various IP address using the Portable Penetrator Wifi Pen Testing. Two reports are generated in the end of the scanning – one for the management and one for the technical team, allowing them to take required action.

There is no money involved in the free vulnerability scan service and many companies do it for goodwill. The amount of money you will invest in a Portable Penetrator Wifi Pen Testing will be worth more than you spent.

Approach any reliable service provider and get a free vulnerability scan service done for your network. If you are using a Wifi network in your organization, then you must go for Portable Penetrator Wifi Pen Testing now.

These days’ maximum people are worried about their network security. And the ones who do not care, it is high time to consider it.
