Re: informIT: Modern Malware

[Gunnar Peterson <gunnar () arctecgroup net>]

Advanced = goes through firewall
Persistent = tried more than once
Threat = people trying to get into valuable stuff

Nothing new to sc-l readers, but a Reasonably good marketing term esp by infosec standards (yay we get to scare 
business people with something other than an auditor's clipboard!); really its all just the collective sound of 
infrastructure security people coming to grips with the fact that their firewall isn't a wall at all, but rather a 
series of holes.
