Dutch public administrations may have hackers employ to protect systems from attackers. That says CDA Mp Raymond Knops. Also would critical systems are redundant need to be designed.

Hiring hackers would need to ensure that government better be tested on security, said Button opposite Tweakers.net. At this moment there are no security professionals in the service who are purely and only to find the security risks involved, says Button in the fraction of the CDA the spokesman for the ministry of Defence.

The recruiting of hackers by the government is not a novelty. The United States already do so and also the NATO has so-called ‘red teams’: hackers who use the security tests. “You’ll be something nationaals need to do. We can’t sit back and wait for the NATO to us with a solution. We have to be active too.”

In addition, according to Knops belangriijk that new, critical systems and networks are redundant and will be designed, in order to prevent them in case of a failure or attack quickly fall out. “With a new interior of the state, for example energy services, you have redundancy build in. If you’re not doing that, you get a domino effect.”

The Second Room will be in the near future to discuss measures for the security of government systems and databases. The measures derive from the National Cyber Security Strategy, which earlier this year presented. Button suggested earlier that there is a broad social discussion should be about the willingness of people to be a part of their privacy to deliver ict systems to make it safer.
