• Web presences and Internet commerce sites are targets for attack
  
• Internet worms can infect servers, disable them, and take down an entire network
  
• Day-zero exploits expose organizations before patches are released and implemented
  
• Difficult-to-control internal environments, such as labs, are ideal locations for worm and virus infestations
  
• Disgruntled employees can launch attacks from inside the Internet edge perimeter
