The Digital World is Under Attack 20,000,000 − Cybercrime is an integral part of the 18,000,000 Digital World 16,000,000 14,000,000 − Cybercrime is an organized 12,000,000 10,000,000 underground industry 8,000,000 6,000,000 − The last five years have become the 4,000,000 Golden Age of Cybercrime 2,000,000 0 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Number of new malicious programs found by Kaspersky Lab every year PAGE 2 |
Why is it happening? It’s profitable • More online services that are easy to prey on • High demand for criminal services (spam, botnets) Easy to do • It’s simple – technically speaking • No physical contact with victims Low risk business • International crime vs. national legislation • Difficult to trace anonymous international professionals PAGE 3 |
Main types of malware businesses There are many different malware businesses: • Common: banking, ransom, botnets, etc. • Targeted attacks – Aurora, Stuxnet, Night Dragon • Exclusive: Sumitomo £229mln., NYSE Trojan attacks • Mobile attacks: Spyware, SMS-Trojans, Backdoors Some criminal businesses are born – ATM malware, mobile attacks Some criminal businesses vanish Dial-up, online game malware PAGE 4 |
Examples of malware businesses Online Game Fraud – once a very profitable criminal business PAGE 5 |
Examples of malware businesses But today it goes down due to the inflation on the black market of online game characters and artifacts PAGE 6 |
Money makes the crime go round ERGO – The main motivation for cybercrime growth is its economical profitability Profit decline decreases malware of that type PAGE 7 |
A standard malware business scenario Malware lifetime • Development and placement (usually on Web) • Distribution (spam, Web-site infection) • Injection and infection • AV products updated • the end DETECT UPDATE PAGE 8 |

The Era of Happy Cybercriminals Is there anything that can stop it? PAGE 10 |
The Principle of Cloud Security KLoud Security Network connects millions of computers that report new threats to the Service This data is immediately available to other computers in the Network. Thus, just a few users protect millions PAGE 11 |
Modern technologies do respond to cybercrime How Internet-based ("cloud") technologies work now • Development and placement (usually on Web) KLoud Update Instead of making a lot of cash, • Distribution (spam, Web-site infection) • "Cloud" AV products updated cybercriminals earn much less, or • No more Injection and infection • the end ever lose money ROI Threshold Infected Users PAGE 12 |
“Cloud” security becomes new industrial standard • KLoud Security Network (Kaspersky) • Quorum (Symantec) • Global Threat Intelligence (McAfee) • Smart Protection Network (Trend Micro) • Others are joining the team. PAGE 13 |
Silver bullet? Ways to bypass the “cloud”: • Non-executable malware • Server-side polymorphic malware • File infectors • New behavior • Simple malware is blocked by KLoud Security in a few minutes • The rest is tackled by traditional AV Technologies PAGE 14 |
Conclusion KLoud is not the Silver Bullet, but: • It makes malware hard to develop and unprofitable • The entrance ticket to Cybercrime becomes more expensive Happy End! KLoud is a quick solution for suppressing cybercrime! PAGE 15 |
