Problems Narus' is Addressing

In 1983, the movie, WarGames, was released chronicling the exploits of fictional hacker David Lightman as he successfully – and unwittingly – penetrated a U.S. military supercomputer. The internet was young and hacking was something teenagers did. WarGames introduced the idea that a common hacker could wield his keyboard as a weapon to initiate mass destruction.

Computer knowledge and access has increased exponentially since the 80's, today we are a truly Internet-centric society. In the past decade, worldwide internet usage has grown an astounding 444.8 percernt with Internet power controlling not only our everyday lives, but also critical infrastructures that maintain national security and safety information. While advances and expansion in the Internet and technology in general revolutionized our lives and how we conducted business in the first decade of the 21^st century, they also presented new cracks through which sophisticated cyber criminals obtained data and compromised our critical infrastructures. Security risks are ever present.

Advances in smart phone technology and social networking have populated on-line information and downloads including games, videos, webinars, sporting events, and even fashion events shows. These activities, while mostly non-malicious, use scare network resources and can slow down important business-related activities.
