Recommended Posts

To weather the MS-blaster and Sobig-F Windows viruses, Microsoft replaced its Windows-based Microsoft Corporation: Software, Smartphones, Online, Games, Cloud Computing, IT Business Technology, Downloads servers with Linux servers that could withstand the viruses in August 2003. Shouldn't you?

Ford announced that it would switch its Sales force from Windows to Linux systems in September 2003. The national governments of China, France, South Korea, and Mexico already have switched.

13% of all Microsoft IIS Servers currently have a "back door" Trojan running on them, according to a Netcraft survey published September 12, 2001. We can install a reliable Linux Firewall to ensure that such a back door cannot be used or created. We can replace your unreliable, maintenance-intense, and vulnerability-prone IIS Server, Exchange mail server, file server, or backup scheme with a low-maintenance, reliable, high performance, and low cost Linux server or provide other solutions to these and many other security and administration problems.

Cyberattack activity increased 79% between July and December of 2001 according to security-services vendor Riptech Inc. Don't be part of this year's statistic!

Despite lots of promises by Microsoft, the rate of security patches [security bugs] in Microsoft's products for 2002 so far is the same as for 2001 according to Security Flaws Continue to Be Issue for Microsoft. Protect your vulnerable network with a secure and reliable Linux-based Firewall from Horizon Network Security!

What harm could a cracker do with your customers' credit card numbers? Your customer lists? Your new marketing plan to get ahead of your competition? Your new engineering designs? Your bank account numbers? Financial information that could affect your stock prices? What would this cost you? How much down time and adverse publicity can you afford? Does your SysAdmin know how to recover without throwing away all data created since the last known viable backup? Is the last backup even valid? Can you quickly determine exactly what a Cracker has altered on your systems?

Security breaches are costing U.K. businesses the equivalent of each worker losing a day of work each year, according to figures announced by the British government on 24 April 2002. Half of U.K. businesses do not encrypt customer credit card data across the Internet and only a third encrypt customers' credit card data on their servers. Publicity about major security breaches have put even large companies out of business.

Microsoft's top man says that Windows has so many security bugs that releasing the source code would threaten U.S. National Security.

A security crisis is starting to emerge in the world of computing, writes Robin Bloor. The year 2002 will prove to be the worst year yet for hacking. The following year will probably be worse. The number of breaches of computer security and the money lost has been escalating rapidly ever since the Internet was born. If you characterize computer security as a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil, then at the moment you have to conclude that the bad guys are winning
