A worldwide problem.
Over the past few years, viruses have moved from becoming
a low-level annoyance to being a relentless "worldwide
problem " IDC Bulletin #2304
Computer viruses are among the most frustating challenges
faced by companies today. They rob workers of producivity,
divert computer support resources from more strategic concerns,
and can even jeopardize your company's information security.
Yet there is no way you can keep every virus out of your
company's computers.
Every company is vulnerable to viruses from at least one
entry point most often the workstation. More often though
companies today are vulnerable at multiple entry points:
workstations, network servers and Internet e-mail. Employee's
unthinkingly launch email attachments with viruses contained
inside. Traveling employees bring viruses in on laptops
after visits to customer sites.

Are you prepared?
The Love Bug mail worm and it's variants that struck early in
the year 2000 cost businesses an estimated US $8.75 billion dollars.
This however is nothing compared to the damage new viruses like
Nimda and Code Red that utilize "blended threats" to
attack can cause. A blended threat utilizes multiple methods and
techniques to transmit and spread an attack. The rapid and widespread
damage caused by these sophisticated attacks can send the cost
of lost business, productivity, clean up and recovery into the
millions, even billions of dollars worldwide.
