99 Percent Of Malicious Action Starts On Workstations



Roger Grimes made this remark on InfoWorld when he commented on the 2012 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report that was released last week. What he said was: "You should enable event log monitoring on all managed workstations and servers. Don't make the mistake of only monitoring servers -- 99 percent of the malicious action begins on a regular end-user's workstation before it spreads to the servers holding the data. Often, by the time attackers reach the servers, they are operating with an elevated end-user's credentials, and event log monitoring becomes much tougher." This is a warmly recommended article called: "What to monitor to stop hacker and malware attacks".
