Government should control 'Net, Kaspersky says at CeBIT

Governments of the world have to take control of the Internet to save
it from buckling under the increasing pressure of worms, viruses and
other cyberattacks, Eugene Kaspersky, head of antivirus research at
Kaspersky Labs Ltd. of Moscow said.
Governments should control the Internet in the same way other public
networks, such as electricity and traffic information networks, are
controlled, Kaspersky said in a meeting with journalists at the CeBIT
trade show in Hanover, Germany, on Thursday.
Rules for usage of the network should be enforced by Internet police
with users licensed to use the 'Net, he said.
"If we want to have a big public network like the Internet in the
future, there must be very strict usage rules. If we don't have those,
the Internet will just die," Kaspersky said. "The Internet today is
like a road without policemen and driving licenses."
Kaspersky warned of a "new era" of global Internet attacks in which
antivirus companies won't be able to protect users. The advent of
fast-spreading Internet worms has decreased the time vendors have to
provide protection to a day or two, according to Kaspersky. Smarter
worms will propagate even faster.
"In the future antivirus companies won't be able to deliver protection
on time," Kaspersky said. "We have to prepare for a scenario one day
this year or next year that will visibly slowdown the global
Internet."
