However I did stumble across an interesting article on Continuity Central that did a nice job breaking down the top ten threats to small and medium-sized businesses. Although these points are relevant to smaller businesses I think that many are applicable to large enterprises and home users as well. Here is their list:
- Insiders
- Lack of contingency plans
- Unchanged factory defaults
- The unsecured home
- Reckless use of public networks
- Loss of portable devices
- Compromised WebServers
- Reckless web surfing
- Malicious HTML e-mail
- Unpatched vulnerabilities open to known exploits
