The downside to having so much business (and personal business, for that matter) information networked is that connectedness makes precious information vulnerable. Results from a recent Systems Management poll which asked readers to name the greatest threat to the continuity of their operations found that while no single threat dominates the landscape, Internet-borne threats are especially menacing. Spyware and adware topped the list of network threats for thirty percent, as companies continue to look for ways to mitigate the danger of malicious code downloaded without end user knowledge from the Web. Spam was a close second, with 28 percent putting the unwanted flood of e-mail at the top of their threat list.

Four percent are on guard against denial of service attacks. Thirteen percent said some other security problem was the greatest threat to the security of their network. « How 6 Billion IBM Dollars Helped Chase Apple Out Of India | Main | Apple And Blackberry -- Not What You Think » |
