Criminal activity such as industrial espionage, theft of financial information and robbery has entered the 21st-century with the application of the latest technological innovations. Now, hired professional hackers use the Internet to perpetrate swift, silent and targeted attacks, along with many other types of criminal activities.
Large companies have already fallen victim to such attacks, but are logically reluctant to admit it due to the consequent damage to their image and reputation. Even so, to get an idea of the extent of this problem, according to SANS Institute, data theft from Fortune 1000 companies alone cost €100,000 million in 2003.
The best way to protect your organization is first to know what you are facing in terms of the technology being used and then immediately apply the most effective security strategy to combat attacks.
