I think we're getting close to the point where we realize that patches and virus signatures and such are not sufficient to protect networks from worms and viruses. I meant to bring this up a month or so ago. After the NetSky.A-Z and Bagle.A-Z and NextOne.A-Z, people should start realizing that they need to escape the vicious circle of updating sigs and patching. Different, deeper reaching measures need to be taken to reduce susceptibility to these issues. Architectural changes are necessary to remove the capabilities for these things to run, spread and thrive, not more patches and virus signatures. Sooner or later, individuals will find the answer. It's evolution in the digital world. Regards, Frank -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
