Email threats & financial risks

Hackers steal thousands from insurance firm! Cyber-crooks steal millions from small companies! Health records compromised by computer virus!

Headlines like this convey the impression that businesses are constantly falling foul of email-borne security threats and paying a punishing price as a result. But is this just another classic case of media hype? Is the threat exaggerated? Our latest research reveals that in 2009, one in every 286 emails contained a virus. The threat is real.

Bearing in mind the scale of the weaponry at the cyber-criminals’ disposal, it’s probably not surprising that it’s relatively easy for a PC to ‘catch’ a virus – a virus whose objective may not simply be to disrupt or crash a computer or network, but rather to seek out confidential (and therefore valuable) data that can be secretly leaked to the virus’s controller.
