What is Code Red Worm?
- Abstract
- Code Red worm can be viewed as a new generation of Internet worm that took the Internet and security community by surprise. Now there exist a few versions of Code Red worm and each new version proofs to be more malicious then the original Code Red worm. This should serve as a strong motivation for businesses and corporations alike to beef up their system's defense. Prevention is much more cost effective than cure, especially for mission critical systems. A flexible, defense-in-depth strategy that allows adaptation to the dynamic environment plus well-defined policies and procedures are required to keep an organization's computer system secured. It is helpful to devise a continuous lifecycle security plan that will update security policy, practices and supporting tools to secure systems and information against future attacks.
