InfoEdge publishes Information Security in a Networked World: How
Vulnerable Are You?

     Business/Technology Editors

     STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 1998-- 

             GartnerGroup Research Helps IT Professionals
   Establish Information Security Strategies for the Next Millennium

     Information-security penetration is a rapidly growing problem. Forty
percent of 400 companies surveyed by GartnerGroup reported recent break-ins
to their computer networks, even though thirty percent said they were
protected by firewalls. The FBI has estimated that ninety-five percent of
unauthorized computer incursions go undetected. An estimated 108 million
people will be working outside the traditional office by 2002. To meet
their information needs, companies will need to provide greater remote
access in the next millennium despite the threat of information security
exposure.
     To help IT managers establish strategies to meet these challenges,
InfoEdge has published the first-ever report dedicated specifically to
Information Security entitled Information Security in a Networked World:
How Vulnerable Are You? This report, compiled from Gartner Group, Inc.
research, provides IT professionals with research and advice on
establishing an Information Security strategy for the next millennium. It
addresses such topics as: the latest security technologies and products;
how to handle virus-enabled malicious code; new methods to secure
application products and their databases; controlling access in a mobile
world; and the legal implications of doing something (or nothing) about
information security.
     The revolution of Internet commerce will make information security
more critical than ever. By 2001, seventy-five percent of intranet Web
servers will run on Windows NT, an operating system that has not been
immune to incursions. The Internet networking protocol was developed to
enable communications, but securing those communications was never
considered. The unfortunate fact is that hackers have circumvented much of
today's protection technology.
     Protecting information systems is vital to almost every corporation in
the world. This report from InfoEdge provides the definitive answers that
IT managers need to know to protect their systems from unauthorized
incursions and maintain system integrity and continuity.
