Network Security White Papers

The Ongoing Evolution of Online Fraud

Overview Understanding the current threat landscape is critical in helping to protect enterprise users' online interactions and ensure the availability of critical systems. Increasingly, attackers see end users as the weakest link in the security chain and are constantly targeting them in an effort to profit. As a result, they are now using a variety of techniques to escape detection and prolong their presence on systems in order to gain more time to steal information, hijack the computer for marketing purposes, or compromise confidential information. This paper draws on the latest Symantec Internet Security Threat Report to show that the new threat landscape is increasingly dominated by attacks and malicious code that are used to commit cybercrime.
