The role that controls cyber elasticity for internet exchanges and its customers – opinion

By Thomas King

Mary Ward is a guide. It is considered talent to draw on microscopy, investigate insects and write books, which is one of the leading scientists of the British Islands – at which a woman is a novelty at the time. Another new thing is his steam -powered car, where he travels through Ireland. In 1869, this vehicle was a sad consciousness. In a corner, a 42 -year -old woman was designed from the bank and crashed in front of the vehicle on her. Seat belts that save the mother of eight children are not mandatory at the time. In the 1900s, traffic rules emerged as we know today. It is also done today in the IT world to prevent damage and to make everyone interacting safe for everyone. Countries are developing with law to protect companies, administration and individuals from cyberspace accidents.

Traffic regulations for greater cyber security

From North America to India and Asia – worldwide, digital traffic regulations have been sought. Politicians seek ways to make the digital economy more elastic. Objective: establishing security culture in all public and private sectors. Looking at Europe, it shows how it can be achieved. The European Union is currently developing with a new version of Information Network and Systems Directive (NIS2). The European Alliance is looking for the idea of ​​modernizing the existing legal frame and changing the rising serious threat. Although the greater digitization value has created more opportunities for creation, each additional digital opportunity ends potential doors to third parties with harmful intentions.

Whether in the fields of energy, water supply, banking, finance or health, it will expand a group of NIS2 public companies and organizations, making your IT Panorama more elastic. And this applies to all fields of key and social importance based on information and communication technologies. Terms apply directly to wide organizations and indirectly part of the supply chain. The example of the Crowdstrike shows why it is crucial: on July 19, 2024, the Cyber ​​Security Service provider provided defective update that caused failures in computer systems worldwide. About 8.5 million windows equipment, hospitals and retailers were affected in airlines. This is a general failure, but it has become an unprecedented problem in the completely digitized economy.

Officers, rules and guidelines to reduce cyber losses

From hackers and botnets to accidents and accidents, digitized and industrial economies are more prepared against them. For example, in 2022, the American Cyber ​​Security Act was passed in the US updates for the current information safety regulations of the federal current information security, requiring critical infrastructure operators to communicate cyber and liberation strikes and improves the security of cloud services to federal agencies. In Malaysia, the first Cyber ​​Security Act came into force in 2024 2024. The law defines regulatory rules for cyber security and aim to protect the national infrastructure of complex information. Dedicated Agency – National Cyber ​​Security Committee – needs to be implemented and monitored. This applies to India and Singapore: the subcontinent has created its own government agency, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, which publishes guidance and recommendations for companies and is responsible for preventing cyber attacks. On the other hand, the city-state, which introduced in the 2018 Cyber ​​Security Act, is aiming to protect complex information infrastructure.

Internet exchange and cyber elasticity: more elasticity for suppliers and customers

It is definitely the condition of telecommunication companies in many countries of the world: especially high economic importance and protection. The basic principle is that in order to make the networks elastic, all the levels – from submarine cables to the Internet Exchange and Data Centers – must be protected individually. In practical terms, each infrastructure is as resilient as individual elements that compose it. Therefore, all parts of shared infrastructure – roads or global telecommunication infrastructure – unnecessarily and diverse, the global system is more elastic. On the one hand, for suppliers who offer their services to this way, on the other hand, to customers who build their own based on such mutual secure services and solutions.

Telecommunication suppliers, in particular, are giving a good example in this field. Unlike other sectors, PWC’s Global Crisis and Resolver’s Survey 2023 is usually a fully comprehensive elasticity. The same applies to inter -connection suppliers in Europe and Germany: considering NIS2, some operators have to strengthen their identity and access management, but in principle, inter -connection services are already in critical infrastructure (according to NIS1). In addition, the Internet conversion, such as the D-Six, has been verified in accordance with the national control requirements called the IT-Grudescutz of the German Information Security Federal Office and ISO27001. Both are identified structures and standards for IT and information security for NIS2.

The exercise of consistency is not only: IT’s weight can cause risks in economic interests

Berlin, Kuala Lumpur, Nova Deli or Washington – companies who want to confirm professional and safe IT activities for themselves and their customers advise them to follow the guidelines and standards for more computer safety. And this is only true from the visa of pure financial interest. For example, PWC professionals recommend that laws for greater cyber elasticity do not look at consent exercises and check topic, but are identified as competitive benefit. Those who affect them are not only taking action on the policy of affecting their own corporate interests, they increase the general good of society.

Self -masterpiece for normal good? Whether it is on the information road or on the road, it makes sure it is perfect. Since the road code came into force in Portugal in 1928, its transport rules have been changed several times – bands from speed limitations and seat belt need to be worn. Much in the soul of Mary Ward.
