FACING DISASTERS IN THE 21ST CENTURY CHALLENGE

IDEA: Forming an International Malicious Code
  Protection Agency(IMCA).
DISASTER: A malicious code that causes critical
  systems to malfunction.
AREA: Disaster Preparedness.

PERSONAL DETAILS
NAME: SAMMY KAMUNGE WANJIRU
SCHOOL: EGERTON UNIVERSITY
COUNTRY: KENYA
The Disaster I envision?
‘A code that makes mission critical computer
  systems to malfunction is written by one
   state, this state declares war with other
 nations and manages to infect the mission
   critical systems of the army of the other
 nations and computer controlled magnetic
trains. The results into the malfunctioning of
    these systems and causes horrendous
                   accidents’.
The situation...
Countries like China have introduced computer controlled
  magnetic trains.
Countries like America have war drones that are
  controlled by computer systems in a central location.
THE REALITY ON THE GROUND
(There were rumours that during the Iraq vs America war,
  a malicious code found its way into one of the
  computers through a flash disk dropped in the wash
  rooms by enemies and it caused the communication
  systems to be jammed for a while but luckily they were
  able to clean their systems).
The Disaster unfolding....
  If ill minded programmers come up with a
  code that can cause the systems that control
  this mission critical systems to malfunction, it
  can lead to a major disaster.

• Imagine a drone loosing control and dropping
  the bomb in the middle of a city!!! This will
  translate into thousands of deaths and
  injuries.
My solution to this Disaster!
              - Preparedness
We should set up an International Malicious
Code Protection Agency whose mandate is to
monitor the malicious codes that pop up all
over the world each and every day.
The plan of implementation
We should make it compulsory for every
professional programmer to sign a code of good
conduct and make it illegal for anyone to write
malicious code with the enactment of stringent
penalties to those found guilty.

The International Malicious Code Protection
Association should guide nations and
organizations on the disaster preparedness
procedures in order to avert the occurrence of
this disaster.
Effectiveness of the solution…
The International Malicious Code Protection
  Association will keep the authorities charged
  with the responsibility of managing this
  mission critical systems alert.
This is because any leniency by those operating
  this mission critical systems can lead to an
  adverse outcome if this disaster occurs.
Innovativeness of this solution…
Presently individual countries/states have their
  own regulations regarding Malicious codes
  with some having no regulations at all and
  there are no international bodies mandated to
  ensure no nation comes up with malicious
  codes or funds projects to generate malicious
  codes. Coming up with a single international
  body will integrate the efforts of the Individual
  nations and create a common policy/level
  ground for all countries.
THE OUTCOME….
With such an international body coming into existence to
  manage the malicious codes being written knowingly, it
  will be very hard for any nation, organization or
  individual to manipulate the existing mission critical
  systems since the organizations overseeing these
  systems will be forced to be alert and on top of their
  game every time.
No double standards will be practiced since the more
  advanced nations in terms of programming know how
  will be restrained from manipulating the inefficiencies
  of ‘not so advanced nations’.
Application in real life
This idea will work in real life since with every
  passing day more and more computer
  controlled systems are being adapted by
  organizations. This systems are nothing but
  millions of written codes that are executed to
  cause the desired action by the machine. This
  codes can be manipulated to cause adverse
  outcomes and sometimes disasters where
  weapons of mass destruction are involved or
  public means of transport are involved.
