Reducing Remote Risks within the Enterprise

Abstract

Remote exploitation and attack against enterprise networks is a continual threat against enterprise networks in 2007. Increasingly sophisticated networks and business requirements within a fast changing world of technology have complicated risk reduction today. Sadly, malicious code often becomes the auditing tool for many networks, instead of due diligence. Vulnerable computers, noncompliant computers, executives ignorant to security and targeted attacks, and malicious code infestations run rampant today. By adopting best practices against common vectors of attack, organizations may significantly lower the likelihood of a remote exploitation incident against the network.
