Botnets and your Business

Overview

This MessageLabs White Paper looks at the botnet threat and how it has evolved into a serious danger to business. It also gives a snapshot of botnet activity based on data gathered by MessageLabs from 10-17 January 2009. But it shows, too, how the threat can be cost-effectively thwarted. The paper is rooted in MessageLabs experience of providing proven messaging and web security management services for 18,000 clients worldwide, with over 2.5 billion attempted SMTP connections processed every day on their behalf.
