 Thousands of attacks
on our network and attached computers take place each day. At any given time,
there are typically 20-30 machines on campus that are compromised. It takes
less than a minute for a Windows computer to be attacked and compromised after
being connected to the network if it is not behind a firewall, completely
patched, or running antivirus software. This often happens even before the
machine has finished starting up. We all have to protect ourselves in this new
environment. Fortunately, we have the tools to do this; see the Defenses
- How Do I Protect Myself? Web site for more information.
