When the Internet launched in 1991, its future impact on the everyday activities of both the public and private sectors was likely underestimated. Since then, the Internet has brought about an interconnected, virtually borderless world where transactions and communications are instantaneous from one continent to another. And Internet technologies continue to evolve, creating new opportunities for businesses and individuals. Yet, the digital world has also created risk. Blended threats, vulnerabilities, and Internet attacks are on the rise. Attacks are increasingly leveraging worms to carry exploits of known vulnerabilities as a means of creating exposures or security holes on larger numbers of systems. Attackers are then able to install backdoor Trojan Horses to create their own network of controlled systems from which they can launch future attacks.
