War and Data Security: 'The Best Defense is a Better Defense' (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany)

 

"The situation in Europe and many parts of the world is more precarious today than it has been for many years. Unfortunately, we have seen that war has unequivocally returned to Europe as an aspect of foreign policy. That has far-reaching implications for cyber security.  Modern Internet communications technology as a way of confusing the enemy and propagandizing. And it is well known that cyber technology can be used offensively to attack and disable enemy infrastructure and systems." -- Munich Security Conference Chairman Wolfgang Ischinger

 

"We are seeing a dramatic loss of confidence. The revelations of Edward Snowden, surveillance by the NSA and other incidents have changed our thinking - on security policy as well. On a government level, this leads many countries to expand the offensive potential of cyber technology. Meanwhile, the protection of their own systems is sadly neglected. We return to the old motto: Attack is the best defense. But I fear that this is not correct in this case. Cyber protection is a matter of national security and that is why the following must apply: The best defense is a better defense."  -- Deutsche Telekom CEO Timotheus Höttges

Germany - Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung - Original Article (German)

http://worldmeets.us/images/wolfgang-ischinger-text_pic.jpg[This column was originally posted December 6, 2014]

On Monday, executives and policymakers conferred on cyber security. In a conversation with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung [FAZ], Deutsche Telekom CEO Timotheus Höttges and Munich Security Conference Chairman Wolfgang Ischinger warned that the risk to computer networks and public infrastructure is growing.

 

FAZ: What, Misters Ischinger and Höttges, is the scale of the threat?

 

Wolfgang Ischinger: From a foreign policy and security perspective, the situation in Europe and many parts of the world is more precarious today than it has been for many years. Unfortunately, we have seen that war has unequivocally returned to Europe as an aspect of foreign policy. That has far-reaching implications for cyber security. Modern Internet communications technology is now used as a way of confusing the enemy and propagandizing. And it is well known that cyber technology can be used offensively to attack and disable enemy infrastructure and systems.

 

Timotheus Höttges: Everyone is potentially at risk – every state, every business, as well as every citizen. That is why companies like Deutsche Telekom increasingly have some level of responsibility for supporting and improving cooperation in this area. To a certain extent citizens are resigned to this, because in the face of the Internet's complexity they feel helpless.

 

FAZ: How does this manifest itself?

 

Timotheus Höttges: Feelings of helplessness result from an expansion of risk and diminished protection. More and more people are worried about the security of their data, but hardly anyone is doing anything about it. Our new security report shows that 90 percent of respondents believe that a majority of companies pass on or misuse data. At the same time, everyone "agrees," for example, with data security requirements when shopping online. But hardly anyone reads them. There is a certain contradiction in behavior there. I hope that our conference contributes to a greater awareness of risk among Internet users. 

 

Wolfgang Ischinger: We are seeing a dramatic loss of confidence. The revelations of Edward Snowden, surveillance by the NSA and other incidents have changed our thinking - on security policy as well. On a government level, this leads many countries to expand the offensive potential of cyber technology. Meanwhile, the protection of their own systems is sadly neglected. We return to the old motto: Attack is the best defense. But I fear that this is not correct in this case. Cyber protection is a matter of national security and that is why the following must apply: The best defense is a better defense.

 

FAZ: Are you afraid of terrorist attacks on computer networks and public infrastructure?

 

Wolfgang Ischinger: We shouldn't present ourselves as prophets of doom, but in security policy it's a good idea to assume the "worst case scenario." And the worst conceivably scenario would in fact be that modern, well-equipped groups familiar with modern technology, like those we observe at the moment in Syria and Iraq, could concievably attack our networks. I am not afraid that this will impact the water works in Cologne or Munich tomorrow, but these groups will stop at nothing - we've seen that again and again. We - government, industry and society, must be prepared for such scenarios. Unfortunately, this remains far off - even in the collective awareness of risk.

 

http://worldmeets.us/images/timotheus-hoettges-text_pic.jpgTimotheus Höttges: The dangers are very real. Think about the attack by Syrian hackers on the water supply in Haifa a year ago - and in the United States, about 60 percent more cyber attacks on public infrastructure was recorded in 2013 over the previous year.

 

FAZ: Has the topic of cyber security reached the boardrooms of the economy?

 

Timotheus Höttges: Definitely, yes. This can be seen from the fact that more and more of our summit participants come from industry - and also in the response to our services, like the major new data center in Magdeburg where we maintain one of our biggest "clouds." Companies want to know where their information is stored, and they want to be certain that sensitive customer and company information is well protected. But we are also seeing that small and mid-sized companies require a lot of catch-up work when it comes to security-related issues.

 

FAZ: Has the quality of the attacks changed?

 

Timotheus Höttges: The attacks are becoming more sophisticated and the attackers are learning quickly. In addition to classical automated programs that attempt to tap information or paralyze networks, there are more tailored attacks on individual companies. Frequently, social networks are used to steal personal employee information that facilitates the penetration of networks.

 

FAZ: In spite of all the cyber risk, connectivity continues to move forward. Under the rubric of Industry 4.0, factories and entire value chains are being digitized. Doesn't this create new areas for attack?

 

Timotheus Höttges: In the early days of the railroad, people were afraid that the high speeds would be incontrollable and lead to accidents. As a consequence, measures were taken to minimize the risks. The establishment of the TÜV, for example, then called the Dampfkessel Revisions Verein [technical inspection association]. We face a similar challenge today. Yes, there are risks associated with any new technology. No one wants to downplay that. Vulnerability to cyber attacks increases with Industry 4.0, which is why the effective protection of systems will become even more important - together in communication and in cooperation across all sectors. We must learn to control the risks, because we cannot afford to slow down the process. Digitization is the most important driver of growth and societal prosperity.

 

FAZ: In terms of data protection and security, America and Europe are still worlds apart.  Or do you see progress, Mr. Ischinger?

 

Wolfgang Ischinger: We had at the end of June the first meeting of the U.S.-German Cyber Dialog in Berlin. Unfortunately, the result was not too satisfactory. But if we want to rebuild trust, we cannot destroy the thread of discussion. The Munich Security Conference will make a contribution to raising awareness. That also means recognizing that not just us Europeans, but also more and more Americans, are demanding data security and privacy.

 

FAZ: Why is it so difficult to achieve a basic consensus?

 

Wolfgang Ischinger: Even in America, Snowden and his revelations created a stir. But for historical reasons, Americans have more confidence in their secret services than Europeans do. Nevertheless, it should still be possible to build bridges and find common ground through dialog between the Bundestag and the U.S. Congress, for example, as well as in non-governmental spheres.

Timotheus Höttges: The approach to data protection is completely different than in Europe. In the United States, the use of personal data is generally permitted, unless it is expressly prohibited. Here it is exactly the opposite, being derived from the fundamental right to informational self-determination. This fundamental right is not recognized to the same degree in the U.S., and that leads to turmoil in our globalized digital world.

 

FAZ: For example?

 

Timotheus Höttges: This fundamental difference in the way we understand data protection is one of the reasons digital champions like Google or Facebook were not successfully created in Europe. Business models of this type, in which data are stored and processed without consent, would not even be possible in Europe.

 

FAZ: But huge amounts of data from European users end up with American companies.

 

Timotheus Höttges: That is why it's even more important for industry and consumers that there are reliable rules for the game. We need unified European data protection regulations that leave no loopholes. The right to informational self-determination must apply to everyone. What shouldn't happen is that data from European users can be used differently outside Europe than inside.

 

FAZ: Google' CEO Eric Schmidt warns that the strict E.U. data protection rules being proposed could lead to a balkanization of the Internet [last video, right]. Is there something to this?

 

Timotheus Höttges: Data generated in Europe should be stored in Europe and should be subject to a uniform data protection law. Each provider who adheres to these rules will have access, regardless of whether the company is from America, Asia, or Europe. This is not a fragmentation of the Internet, but rather the creation of digital legal certainty.
