From: mbs at mistrealm.com (Michael Schaefer) Subject: Calcuating Loss Loss? One of my biggest complaints is the way the industry "loses billions" whenever a virus or worm breaks out. I mean, securing and maintain your server is not a loss. Installing and updating your anti virus or IDS package is not a loss. All of these things should have been done anyway. If a server goes off line, I guess you could measure the revenue it may have produced as a loss, but technically, that is lack of income, not true loss. If you see someone complaining about all the money they lost doing what they should have been doing all along, I just see spin. And politics.
