The advent of the internet has introduced many social, cultural, and economic benefits never before experienced, but, says an internet security expert, it also poses several causes for concern.

During the first leg of the Pan Middle East Security tour, David Perry, global director of education at Trend Micro, stated that the growing global internet population means that the web will increase significantly as a threat vehicle.

A"Human behaviour is the greatest contributor to the evolution of internet threats as well as criminals' know-how to exploit this opportunity,A" said Perry.

A"Ignorance, arrogance, curiosity, lack of awareness and just plain human nature can lead internet users to put themselves at risk. At best they might realise the issue, but by then the damage is done,A" added Perry.
