Web sites have become the Achilles’ heel for corporate IT security. Attackers are intensely focused on attacking Web applications so they can infect end-user machines. In addition, they are turning their focus to incorporating new types of exploits that link to malicious videos and documents, like PDF files. Meanwhile, corporations are using off-the-shelf applications that are riddled with vulnerabilities.

Even worse, more than 50% of those vulnerabilities and 75% of Web application vulnerabilities don’t even have a patch available.

Join IBM for this important Web Seminar to hear the results from their annual 2008 X-Force Trend and Risk report, which found that corporations are unwittingly putting their own customers at risk for cyber-criminal activity.
