The SANS Institute has released its top 10-cyber security threats for 2008. Topping the list are attacks on Web browsers, particularly plug-ins like QuickTime and Flash. These plug-ins are widely distributed and not automatically updated, even when your browser is updated, leaving a longer window of vulnerability on affected systems. Cyber criminals have been automating their attacks and disguising them so that each is different from the last. Such polymorphic attacks elude signature-based detection systems. Thomas Claburn SAN’s Top Threats for 2008 - Attacks via browser vulnerabilities
- Botnets
- Cyber espionage
- Mobile Phone attacks
- Insider attacks
- Identity theft from persistent bots
- Malicious spyware
- Web app exploits
- Social Engineering
- Infected consumer devices

How good is Your Firewall? |
|
Many low end firewalls are merely packet filtering devices that look to see if data packets are coming from a legitimate and permitted address. They offer no protection against spoofing or embedded viruses, worms or trojans. In light of today’s environment of intrusions that infect a system and use any address books there to propagate itself, your network may be at risk. Most high-end firewalls use stateful inspection. They not only look at addresses, but also look “inside” the packets for harmful code and disguised intrusions. The problem is that these firewalls are usually very expensive.
