For Security & Risk Professionals (Length: 21 pages)

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

The past year saw significant proliferation and continued evolution of cybercrime on the Internet. Security and risk professionals are increasingly challenged to respond to the dynamic and ever-changing cyberthreats, yet many feel ill-equipped to do so. Vendor solutions help, but before you consider yet another defense technology, you need to understand what likely threats you will be facing in the near future, how that impacts your organization's security posture, and where you should focus your limited resources to reduce risk. Forrester's 2008 look at the threat landscape presents an investigation across vendor data, public reports, and survey statistics. Our analysis into malware, spam, phishing, and emerging threats reveals an extremely dynamic threat landscape, fueled by an organized underground economy. Trust on the Internet is increasingly elusive as more and more trusted sites become unwitting participants in proliferating attacks. Web 2.0 emerges as a major threat factor.
