Using IET Experts to identify the root causes of serious public and private "Denial of Service" IT Problems

Peter Brooks

Over this past weekend the British public was subjected to a major "Denial of Service" by Barclays' Bank .

One public observer reviewing the on-going situation noted "At least it appears it wasn't caused by hostile actors!

But what if it had been?"

The IET organization keeps on stressing it's expertise, but never seems (publicly at least) to be actively involved in the long term solutions to these engineering problems.

What is required is an IET sponsored organization that can provide a group of independent experts who will review such major (that lasts for over 24 hours) events, and within 6 weeks report back to the government (and the public) potential long term corrective recommendations.

  • The IET can do what it likes, but nobody will take any notice.

    Every single company assumes that their computer system is safe, right up to the point where they get hacked and all their staff or customer details are stolen.
