[Music]

those of you who have the technology are not

talking about the fear that to my mother

when you look at the smartphone, you do not

I understand the notifications I speak well

just the fear of the real one

that makes your heart beat faster

cold sweat you are missing you have

fear of technology someone at the bottom

well I thought worse for you few

know that your fear

partially unfounded

this is because it is more than not

awareness in using one

technological tool that was born for

fill your wishes and through

the use of a computer of another but

we really do not do well

worry about technology

I ask this question because in reality

you must know that there are certain

technologies that are necessarily governed

from a remote subject that many cases do not

we also know that there is ee di

this remote subject we are there

totally confining, that is, we believe in it

and we do not know what views and b

we hope this subject of the motion

do not do damage because I talk to you about it

this of this risk

I’ll explain it better with an example that

it makes it very clear to make people understand

better what I’m talking about

there is an American TV series mister rob

beautiful talking about eliot a hacker

psychopath that exploits their own

computer skills to fight

the system to fight one

determined multinational in a city

beautiful like in new york

what happens in the first episode

of the second season

eliot e

the followers of eliot do one thing

gorgeous

a part of the first episode begins that

There is this lawyer of this

multinational company that comes out of the shower

comes out of the shower and realizes that the

home is cold there are 12 degrees runs

towards the thermostat thermostat is a

basically a tablet

this is because this house one

so-called smart house that is those houses

governed by computer systems that

they govern all the life processes of the

house with light or heating from

gate and anything else this girl

approaches the exposed thermostat

the temperature on temperatures more

comfortable and nothing returns on 12 grates

try again to move the temperature on i

12 degrees and nothing comes back

this because in a sense without understanding the

reason is a certain point while he insists

insists insists the house goes crazy and yes

they start turning on the lights ad

intermittently ringing phones but

on the other side there is no one

loud music turns on the tv and

even the shutter in the

gate of the garage rises and yes

lower like crazy

starts ringing the alarm is alarm

is this person runs to insert

the alarm because the noise is too much

strong

enter the code the code does not

he takes

in total despair, the scene fades

on her she put a quilt

because there are four in the house

degrees and through the smartphone calls

assistance to come and solve the

problem but those of assistance

technique they answer that

unfortunately he has to wait a week

because they have too many calls why

it is not a problem that only you and

which therefore is forced to abandon

the apartment because the problem does not

you can solve right now it is

forced to leave the apartment

because the apartment literally

crazy and above all there are not any

suitable temperatures for the life of a

human in there then this lawyer

what does he call in a blue car scene

fades

This driver loads the suitcase in the

Meanwhile in the background there is still the

crazy house and lights that varies

intermittently the damper that is taken

low and the car goes away

at the same time the machine goes away and

approach if close to the unknown hand

at the handle of this apartment e

just touch the part by this handle

everything stops the lights are not that

gone crazy the alarm stops playing the

damper and that place perfectly

the door opens and yet this person

he is not the lawyer of this

multinational is a third subject more

people begin to climb the stairs of

this apartment and more is not that

eliot’s sister who thanks to her

friends have violated the control unit of the

smarthouse forcing the owner

of house tail abandoning the apartment

to occupy it practically here is if

this may be impossible to you at

you are wrong today

this because I do not know if you know it

they already exist , they already want it

sell these technologies for ours

housing and it is not difficult to think and

what I have just told you

it could easily be

the evolution of apartment thieves

that is, these people

do not train longer be in force

locks to cut railings or

whatever else but they will do their scouting

their training on how to violate

smart house systems to force us

to abandon the apartment

simply open the doors of the house

our with us maybe inside is one thing

unbelievable if we think ver

unimaginable like this other news

reported by the wall street journal e

many others

other American newspapers

where the document is substantially documented

fact that it is an external contractor

therefore an external consultant of the

national security agency americana

then the six secret services

American computer scientists the computer of

this consultant has been hacked and

all documents have been stolen

secrets of the security agency

so very important things

thanks to the antivirus a paradox

anyone sitting here thinks that

the antivirus is used to defend ourselves from

these cyberattacks defend themselves

from these viruses

pity that just because the antivirus

works with a third remote subject

it is not impossible to think that this

third remote subject goes to modify

deliberately those installations of that

antivirus to allow an attacker

to bridge from aden from outside has inside

this computer going through the anti

virus or any other software this

person has installed on his own

because that software is not governed

only by the final user but also by whom

guarantees this service

this too unimaginable

unimaginable even this news does not

I know how many of you have already read it

thanks to a disclosure of wikileaks

it turned out that it is always at the national

security agencies are not theirs

heavy has developed software in

able to enter the homes of all

Americans of all Europeans in the

houses that have installed a certain

samson ‘s smart TV model those

with built-in microphone and a webcam

software so well developed that

allows you to turn on the microphone and

camera even with the TV turned off

the excuse was that enel yes

this program is developed by finding

computer vulnerabilities on this

smartphone on this smart TV for

national security needs though

think you are comfortably at home

your dinner to talk with yours

son who tells you what he did

first day school and someone maybe

donald trump view listening to yours

conversations for these in security

national you do not notice it

unimaginable but what is even more serious

and here there is a human factor that affects

very

have you ever heard of wana craik

good krhin was one of the gods

malware attacks

computer products that did more

large scale damage substantially a

March of this year is identified

a computer vulnerability on i

very common operating systems that

we use daily therefore

windows 10 8 xp 7 and also those on the side

business then those serve the

microsoft identifies and immediately releases a

update to mitigate this

cyber attack then once

discovered time at least 24 hours

the microsoft update release

this update practically been

ignored by almost all of the

system administrators and users

final

until we arrived in May

in the same year that companies people

even some hospitals ready

rescuers could not receive them

people emergencies just because they do not

information systems were going in

reality like factories with factories

of the nissan government were no longer able

to produce a certain cars

factory was closing that produced

car for mister no has been closed

five days be closed five

days so do not produce more cars

furniture for five days equals one

very big economic damage

all because because we are here

I speak of the man he forgot to

this criticality not updated i

systems one in some contexts one

banality but at least it does not even have

evaluated the possibility of doing so

complete has completely ignored the

thematic but it is so difficult to find

vulnerable systems ie attacking no

how do you identify vulnerable systems

it’s quite easy actually

you must know that there is a platform

it’s called shodan she call it google

of computer security practically

through specific research shows you

what is available on the internet with

that particular feature you can

ask for example webcams that do not

have credentials or webcam with

credentials admin admin or systems

exposed on the internet accessible without

authentication

I did a very simple search

sudan this is exactly like it

in brackets it’s free you can use it

even free to you until some

request a hundred requests has

said let me see

and this is the situation at September 17th

of this year

how many systems are vulnerable to wanaka

and after all the casotto that happened

900 well over 954 thousand systems

vulnerable worldwide to 17

September 2017 pure masochism

basically, that is, there was everything

what I have just told you and

there are people who still exhibit systems

vulnerable and therefore potentially are

the vast range of the stable are made

shatter these systems if taken

under attack in Italy as we are put

good but not very well this research

punctual on Italy there are seven in

more than 7,000 still vulnerable systems

and the last in the list is a note

Italian university

this to make you understand that

when it comes to information security

it is very important not to limit ourselves in the

talk only about technology

key factor of all concepts of

computer security is and will remain

always the man for two reasons

and the man who develops these systems is

the hardware that the software is and the man

that uses them so if we have a

hole in this chain we would have gods

serious security problems

computer technology

so it is useless to invest millions of

euro in technology if the problem is

the user, that is, the user tonto the user

not substantially formed though

unfortunately when we use that

damn smartphone or tablet is like it

let’s turn off the brain, that is

we do not make any use of it

inconsiderate of technology

if you have not any doubt in

about this is the definitive proof

there is a twitter profile that is stored

user photographs always on

twitter who deliberately take pictures of her

own front and back credit card

because poor people still safe with the

one extra effort was missing

attacker

then the nice thing is that in the comments if

signed the grace for the new

playstation 4

the problem what is that until

they exist because they are from these

exceptions, however, use not to say

reasonable technology leads to serious

computer security and serious problems

computer security problems do not go

solved with other technology

you must know that this gentleman has

a sentence said many years ago

beautiful there are only two things that

the universe and stupidity are infinite

human and for the universe

I’m not even sure about it

concerns IT security

unfortunately Albert Einstein really has

so much reason

and so what do we have to do to be

safer us to be too

to transmit security we must leave

from below

we must form belongs to the bass

considering also our children from

schools an education aimed just at the

context of congo use of technology

because if we use technology if

we own the technology so we are

sure of what we’re doing with

that specific computer tool

the risk of performing corbellerie is

certainly much lower and we have to

teach especially to people who

for work they treat information

classified or personal or confidential

also of life and every day to a

conscious use of that instrument

computer where they are contained

all this information because

only with awareness

of the use of technology we succeed

to live in a safer world thanks

[Applause]
