Overview:
A recent report from the technology and research company Forrester of Cambridge, Mass. estimated that breaches cost companies between $90 and $305 per lost record. This includes notifying customers, hiring contractors to fix computer systems, fines and lost business.

What's more, over 95 percent of network attacks are entirely financially motivated. This is different than two or three years ago where it may have been a college student who wanted to crash your computer. Threats today burrow deep in computers and hide. They are a lot less visible today.

Indeed, the new threats are much more sophisticated than those security experts had foiled in the past. The easy things-- viruses, Trojans and worms-- are generally stoppable by most firewalls or certainly inline intrusion prevention. But now, hackers and the organizations that fund them have upped the ante for gateway and network security.

Read this paper to learn about the latest security threats and what you can do to protect your company's data and reputation.
