Security Management White Papers

Viruses Shouldn't Be a Trial

Tags:
security management

Overview Viruses remain the single most encountered (and reported) threat to corporate systems, and yet media interest remains focused on the way in which they spread and on short-term effects such as system downtime. The wider ramifications - damage to the corporate brand, the effect on supplier and customer relationships - are often overlooked, despite the fact that this is where the real damage is done. The white paper guides users in assessing and minimizing their legal liability from computer virus infections.
