Spyware & Network Security
- Abstract
- When dealing with network security, a security professional's first concerns are who is trying to access the network and whether or not to allow access. The primary concerns are hackers, those who attack from the Internet or from the infrastructure. Additional major concerns are viruses, Trojans, worms, and other malicious codes. There is a type of malicious code that is rarely even given a second thought: Spyware.
