Every contact between systems is an opportunity for virus infection, whether it is through physical media, such as a floppy disk, or via electronic methods, such as E-mail. Today's computer viruses are designed to proliferate and to do so at a rapid pace.

In May 2000, it took a single day for the I Love You virus to gain full strength. In September of 2001 the Nimda virus took only 30 minutes to reach its peak. Today the fear is the zero-day attack, a virus which attacks before the vulnerability is even recognized. Viruses have had serious implications for organizations that don't have a solid anti-virus strategy. An anti-virus strategy that is well documented and maintained will allow you to protect your organization from an outbreak rather than simply react to one.
