Synopsis
In this report, TrendLabs, Trend Micro's research lab, discusses 2009's most persistent threats and presents why users need to be more engaged in keeping their systems secure than ever before. These five most recurring and ever-present threats effectively challenge even the more tech-savvy businesses who encounter them either through lack of network security or of education and appreciation of the severity of threats on the part of employees. At the end of each discussion, a list of security dos are recommended for large enterprises and smaller businesses alike.
Unlike the Symantec Global Internet Security Threat Report, trend Trend Micro report is primarily concerned with the threats themselves and does not provide an extensive statistical or financial discussion of cybercrime or its prevalence.
