As Web 2.0 shapes the basis for today's generation of Internet browsing, portal interaction, social networks, Web-based messaging, and other content and program rich sites, organisations are now also adopting Web 2.0 technologies for legitimate business reasons. The business benefits of using Web 2.0 technologies with customers, partners and employees are extensive, but so too are the risks and threats.
The introduction of Web 2.0 has opened the flood-gates to new vulnerabilities, malicious code, compromised networks, phishing attacks, spyware, and inappropriate content. Web 2.0 is interactive and collaborative, and is now the primary infection point for malware or malicious code, and increasing in volume by 40% annually. The Analyst community reports that over 75% of enterprises are infected with spyware and malware - and malicious code is contained in 32% of the Web.
