| There
will be hackers as long as there are unsecured computers with
interesting stuff on them. While better security technologies are
appearing all the time, education and awareness will continue to be the
limiting factor.
System administrators must
learn about and maintain their systems securely. Users have to
understand their security responsibilities for instance, in choosing
good passwords, not installing unauthorized modems, etc. Law enforcement
have to step up their facilities and training programs to meet
the demand for computer and network security.
Hackers
can never be totally eradicated. They exist out there, in all ages and
races. There will not be a hacker-proof security system. This is because
a hacker is a human being. A human being is the one who creates the
security system. The security system does not have a brain of its own.
The creator programs all the security measures into them. The phrase,
“
” applies here. No security system is
perfect. No matter how complex is the security system; hackers can still
manage to hack into it. It is just a matter of time when the hackers
will succeed.
