Fighting the Zeus Botnet in Your Enterprise

,----[ Quote ]
| Zeus is among the most popular crimeware 
| tool kits out there and was placed in the 
| spotlight last week due to NetWitness' 
| discovery of the Kneber botnet. In a 
| discussion with eWEEK, security pros walk 
| through some of the ways Zeus infiltrates 
| organizations and discuss the importance 
| of defense-in-depth as well as having 
| sound policies governing the remediation 
| and investigation process if infected by 
| malware.

75% of Enterprises Have Suffered Cyber Attacks, Costing $2M+ On Average

,----[ Quote ]
| "OK, even allowing for the fact this comes 
| from a newly published study (PDF) from a 
| security company, that's still one heck of a 
| statistic. The fact that it's Symantec, and 
| so has access to perhaps more enterprises 
| than most, makes it a double-heck with knobs 
| on. Or how about this one for size: 'every 
| enterprise, yes, 100 percent, experienced 
| cyber losses in 2009.'"
