Members of AVIEN (the Anti-Virus Information Exchange Network) have been
setting agendas in malware management for several years: they led the
way on generic filtering at the gateway, and in the sharing of
information about new threats at a speed that even anti-virus companies
were hard-pressed to match. AVIEN members represent the best-protected
large organizations in the world, and millions of users. When they talk,
security vendors listen: so should you. AVIENs sister organization
AVIEWS is an invaluable meeting ground between the security vendors and
researchers who know most about malicious code and anti-malware
technology, and the top security administrators of AVIEN who use those
technologies in real life. This new book uniquely combines the knowledge
of these two groups of experts. Anyone who is responsible for the
security of business information systems should be aware of this major
addition to security literature.

* Customer Power takes up the theme of the sometimes stormy relationship
between the antivirus industry and its customers, and tries to dispel
some common myths. It then considers the roles of the independent
researcher, the vendor-employed specialist, and the corporate security
specialist.
* Stalkers on Your Desktop considers the thorny issue of malware
nomenclature and then takes a brief historical look at how we got here,
before expanding on some of the malware-related problems we face today.
* A Tangled Web discusses threats and countermeasures in the context of
the World Wide Web.
* Big Bad Bots tackles bots and botnets, arguably Public Cyber-Enemy
Number One.
* Cr鑝e de la CyberCrime takes readers into the underworld of old-school
virus writing, criminal business models, and predicting future malware
hotspots.
* Defense in Depth takes a broad look at DiD in the enterprise, and
looks at some specific tools and technologies.
* Perilous Outsorcery offers sound advice on how to avoid the perils and
pitfalls of outsourcing, incorporating a few horrible examples of how
not to do it.
* Education in Education offers some insights into user education from
an educationalists perspective, and looks at various aspects of security
in schools and other educational establishments.
* DIY Malware Analysis is a hands-on, hands-dirty approach to security
management, considering malware analysis and forensics techniques and
tools.
* Antivirus Evaluation & Testing continues the D-I-Y theme, discussing
at length some of the thorny issues around the evaluation and testing of
antimalware software.
* AVIEN & AVIEWS: the Future looks at future developments in AVIEN and
AVIEWS.
