SYSTEM SECURITY THREATS Malicious Unintentional Physical There are basically three kinds of threats and danger to your IT systems. These range in severity from nothing more than being a little nuisance right up to a complete and total catastrophe.     Malicious - these include viruses, worms, trojans, spoofing, hacking, spamming and the list goes on.   Unintentional - Other threats include system malfunctions or accidents and human error. Physical - these include damage caused by fire, flood, power loss, vandalism or theft.   There are literally thousand and thousands of different viruses and malicious software lurking on the Internet to infect the system and networks of the unwary and unprotected.   There is one big threat to security which is often overlooked and that is the risk of data being stolen on to a USB Flash Drive. This is a small device with high storage capacity and it means huge amounts of sensitive data or complete systems can be stolen without anyone noticing.   Computer Economics has published its assessment of the damage worldwide caused by malicious code attacks in 2001 - the figure comes in at a whopping $13.2 billion - Source: The Register   Disputed by some, but whatever the figure is, it's most certainly huge and despite  more sophisticated defences the threat is a very real one. Don't leave it until it's too late. Don't become another statistic.
