Mitigating the Blended Threat
Christophe Veltsos · IGI Global eBooks · 2011
While technological controls such as anti-virus, firewall, and intrusion detection, have been widely used to mitigate risk, cyber-attackers are able to outsmart many such controls by crafting new and more advanced malware and delivering them via planned attacks, a perfectly blended threat. This chapter explores this evolving threat and the failure of traditional controls. New strategies are presented to address this new threat landscape, including both human and technological approaches to mitigating risks of doing business in a Web 2.0 world.
