Bob Walder and Chris Morales of NSS Labs published an interesting brief. Based on last year IPS, firewall and endpoint protection tests, the effectiveness of the best device scored was 98.5%. While this is considered excellent, there is still ~2 percent of attacks that make it through the perimeter and host layer defences. Two of their proposals is to attempt to control the attacker by redirecting the attack against a target you can watch and control (i.e. tarpit the attacker) and to regularly test your network to detect problems before someone else does and exploit that system.

They have listed several recommendations but one that I think is worth focussing is be "Prepare to operate at 60 percent capacity in order to withstand a breach, which will reduce, but not eliminate, critical services." [1]

It is very likely the impact will be affecting users, customers and business. Who is prepared to continue to operate at 60% capacity without affecting business or the bottom line?

The eleven page report can be downloaded here.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
