Understanding the Malware Threat

A Sophos white paper, entitled Not all malware detection is created equal, looks at key steps required to keep your environment protected from malware.

"The internet is now the number-one conduit for infecting users with malware," the white paper states. "SophosLabs reports 23,500 newly infected web pages every day. That’s one every four seconds or so, four times worse than what it was in the same period in 2008. Malware authors are very successful with a popular method: compromising popular, high-traffic, legitimate sites in order to kick-start the infection process."
