Mark Zuckerberg or not: When Brook Mahealani Lee (Hawaii) Miss Universe in 1997, was asked: "If there was no rule in your life for a day, and you could do something outrageous, what would you do?"
He answered: “I would eat everything in the world. You do not understand, I would eat everything twice ".
Some say Lee's answer perfectly describes Mark Zuckerberg's outrageous hunger for world domination in recent years.
And yet he is still here, comfortably answering policy questions in America and in Europe .. After its scandal Cambridge Analytica, Mr. Mark Zuckerberg finally had to admit that Facebook's commitment to privacy and the better safety, it was a very big bubble. A bubble that burst…
But what do security professionals think?
Do they also adopt the logical idea that the CEO of Facebook should resign for the obvious violation of security protocols?
Below we will see a survey (PDF) in which 759 security professionals were asked about Facebook and its problems. The investigation was conducted at the RSA Conference last month by security company AlienVault. One of the questions was whether Zuckerberg should be fired.
38 percent wanted to be fired. This means that 62% did not think it was right, to the great relief of Mark Zuckerberg, who definitely wants to keep the chair (for new adventures).
75 percent of security gurus said they wanted more government settings στις πλατφόρμες των κοινωνικών μέσων προκειμένου να περιορίσουν τον τρόπο με τον οποίο σελίδες όπως το Facebook μπορούν να χρησιμοποιούν τα δεδομένα των πελατών τους για εμπορικούς σκοπούς.
But what about GDPR, the European regulation for the protection of data; 69% said they were in favor of its establishment in the US as well.
Let's go back to Facebook: How many of the security professionals who are concerned have deleted their accounts?
18 percent said they had already deleted or never had a Facebook account. As for the latest problems, 16% said they had recently deleted their accounts.
Conclusion: If security professionals still don't have a clear picture of who should be held responsible in a security breach there is a problem. The researchers blamed the board of directors, the CEO and the Security Officer at the same time.
This chaos, on the other hand, there are many who enjoy it: The intelligence services of the US, Russia, China or any country with advanced IT departments are waiting around the corner.
That's the problem with security. The ignorance, the irresponsibility, the chaos, the delay in its transmission informations so as not to expose any company, and the absence of control mechanisms shape the space where the mice dance (safely).
