As more and more business communication tools have been adopted to support employee to employee and employee to customer communications, these have introduced new risks to the business. Email, web and Instant Messaging (IM) have all now become legitimate business applications. They have also become the new target for attackers as they target the user behaviour, opening an email with attachments, clicking through to a website hosting malware, or become victim to an IM attack that then propagates to other IM clients. Evidence of the risk is evident in the growth of spam volumes and the huge number of new botnets that have appeared, driving the propagation of malware and taking control of systems within organisations.
