We encouraged\u00a0our readers to ask Vitaly questions, and there were so many that we decided to break down this Q&A session into several parts. Today, Vitaly will talk about general security issues and solutions.<\/p>\n

Is it impossible to create a system immune to malware?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is possible indeed, but you most likely will not have, say, Facebook on it. I am afraid that we are so used to systems that are easily upgradeable and extendable, we won\u2019t accept something radically different, even if it provides excellent security. In other words: You will not like it.<\/p>\n

Which areas are the most vulnerable to cyberattacks and how do they work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My colleagues use to say that the most vulnerable area is located between the screen and the desk chair. A lot of attacks succeed thanks to social engineering tricks: making users open access to their systems on their own will. This is the sad statistical truth.<\/p>\n
