ADVISORY...Tuesday (Oct. 29)

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 24, 2002

Free Webinar Explains How Companies Can Reduce Security Risk and

Increase ROI from Security Investments

According to a 2002 study by ICSA Labs, a successful virus strike costs individual businesses from $100,000 to $1 million in cleanup and related costs. It is an unfortunate fact that no business can consider itself completely immune to the possibility of a security breach, but there are important steps companies can take to reduce the risk of attacks and shorten the response time if a breach does happen. Even a shortened response time of a few seconds could save a company thousands of dollars in damages.
