A woman named Joanna Rutkowska told delegates in a conference which took place in London that malware protection needs to be built into operating systems.

“Third party prevention uses tricks and hacks. And that’s no good,” she said in the conference.

“Detection technologies are currently immature and even as the approach develops it will not replace prevention technologies, which are far more mature, despite their shortcomings. Detection can never replace prevention. It’s too late to do anything if, for example, you detect that your data has been stolen. You can’t do anything to make an attacker forget what he has discovered,” she added.
