Résumé

One of the more frightening aspects of spyware in the enterprise is the perception that it is an annoyance, not a serious threat to enterprise assets. According to one study, more than 96 percent of enterprises felt that their firewall and antivirus solutions provided sufficient protection. The same survey found that out of the group surveyed, 82 percent reported that their desktop environment was currently infected by spyware. This indicates not only the level of infectious spread of spyware but also the inadequacies of normal techniques in combating this threat. Combating Spyware in the Enterprise is must reading for anyone responsible for the security of an enterprise's network.
