In just under two weeks’ time, Christine Whalley, Director of Information Security at
Pfizer
, will deliver the
opening keynote
address at
VB2016
in Denver.
Christine is no stranger to
VB
though, and looking back through the archives we spotted an article she wrote in 1999, in which she performed a corporate case study to attempt to address the question: Is it really the strangers that bring or send the viruses and other suspicious things into your organization or is it your trusted employees, co-workers, and professional acquaintances?
In the article, Christine described how one large organization – with over 40,000 systems in its decentralized computing environment and a diverse population of over 20,000 employees spread over various departments and networks – decided to find out how and where the viruses within it were being obtained so its administrators could do more to protect their environment.
The case study can be read
