Any company regardless of the level of maturity possesses some valuable information which having got into the hands unscrupulous individuals can put an end not just to the financial future, but also to the whole business. Representatives of very small businesses may have quite considerable sums on their bank accounts, but they can seldom boast of their secure network of workstations. At best PC owners in the companies just install a demo version of an antivirus and a custom firewall. At worst they do not establish protection at all.

Владельцам IT-инфраструктур необходимо регулярно проверять свои ресурсы на наличие вредоносных компонентов. Заражение может произойти, например, в результате эксплуатации злоумышленниками уязвимостей «нулевого дня». В таких случаях о новой угрозе еще могут не знать разработчики средств защиты, установленных в информационной системе. В то же время эксперты уже могут вести расследования связанных с новой угрозой инцидентов. Более того, могут быть опубликованы некоторые результаты этих расследований.
Infrastructure owners must regularly check their resources for the presence of malicious components. One of the ways in which a resource may become infected is as a result of “zero-day” vulnerability exploitation by cybercriminals. In this case, the developers of security tools used to protect the information system may be as yet unaware of the new threat. At the same time, experts may be investigating incidents related to the new threat. Moreover, some findings of these investigations may already be publicly available.
