Part II: Weekly Comprehensive List of Newly Discovered Vulnerabilities
Week 34, 2006
This list is compiled by Qualys ( www.qualys.com ) as part of that
company's ongoing effort to ensure its vulnerability management web
service tests for all known vulnerabilities that can be scanned. As of
this week Qualys scans for 5144 unique vulnerabilities. For this
special SANS community listing, Qualys also includes vulnerabilities
that cannot be scanned remotely.
SANS CRITICAL INTERNET THREATS 2006 =====================================
SANS Critical Internet Threats research is undertaken annually and provides the basis for the SANS "Top-20" report. The "Top-20" report describes the most serious internet security threats in detail, and provides the steps to identify and mitigate these threats.
The "Top-20" began its life as a research study undertaken jointly between the SANS Institute and the National Infrastructure Protection Centre (NIPC) at the FBI. Today thousands of organizations from all spheres of industry are using the "Top-20" as a definitive list to prioritize their security efforts.
The 2006 Top-20 will once again create the experts' consensus on threats - - the result of a process that brings together security experts, leaders, researchers and visionaries from the most security-conscious federal agencies in the US, UK and around the world; the leading security software vendors and consulting firms; the university-based security programs; many other user organizations; and the SANS Institute.
For reference a copy of the 2005 paper is available online: http://www.sans.org/top20.htm. *A list of participants may be found in the Appendix.
