Abstract
Traditional Internet security solutions, such as anti-virus, firewall, intrusion detection, intrusion prevention and heuristic-based systems, are incapable of preventing today’s highly sophisticated attacks. New, ultra-fast malicious code can infect your network and systems within seconds – undetected by packet-level Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention systems and long before a signature-based anti-virus solution can be updated or a software patch can be installed. Based on the results of the FBI 2005 Computer Crime Survey, US companies lost an estimated $67 billion in 2005 due to computer crimes (e.g., viruses, Spyware, PC theft and other computer crimes). This is despite the fact that virtually all of the organizations surveyed use anti-virus software (98.2%) and firewalls (90.7%). For purposes of comparison, losses due to telecommunication fraud in the US are about $1 billion a year (FBI Computer Crime Survey). Also, the overall cost to Americans of identity fraud reached $52.6 billion in 2004 (Javelin Strategy & Research).
Today’s sophisticated web-based threats, such as Spyware and malicious code, are primarily driven by Active Content, e.g., Java applets, VB Scripts, JavaScripts and executables. This can clearly be seen in the graph below, which shows the number and types of content that violated a telecommunication company’s security policy, based on a security audit conducted by Finjan in Q2/2005.
