Guide to Malware and Attack Methods

by Kevin Prince

Many of you will remember the whitepaper I wrote just before 2010 was ushered in called the "Top 10 Information Security Threats of 2010." I have done this for several years; Top 9 in 2009, Top 8 in 2008 and so forth. This year, the top threat I felt organizations were going to have to deal with was malware and it sure looks like that is coming to pass. As I look back on my blog posts for this month alone, more than one half of them deal with the issue of malware. A few months ago I wrote an article on malware. It is somewhat of a beginners guide but it has gotten some good reviews because I break down the methods that cyber criminals use to perpetuate malware. I know some organizations have used it for internal trainings. If you didn’t get a chance to see it, I would suggest taking a look. I hope it helps keep your organizations a bit safer.
