Tuesday, July 08, 2003Dead CERTŪ to catch a coldCERT®Wednesday last week The CERT Coordination Center published CertŪ Incident Note IN-2003-01, Malicious Code Propagation and Antivirus Software Updates. Although it looks like it's stating the obvious, ....viruses and other malware are spreading more rapidly and are getting more difficult to trap because of it, it really is a timely reminder that we should all make sure that our AV installations are up to date and secure. The auto update mechanisms for most of our AV systems are of the pull variety, where the AV console regularly, typically once per hour, polls the manufacturer's web site for updates. In many cases this is not enough as variants of the virus may fool what appears to be an up-to-date pattern. Perhaps its time to get out the broadcast update idea again, see satellite safe, or add other layers of filtering and protection like an email firewall. posted by Robert Campbell 2:33 PM
