Most CIOs realize that hack attacks are becoming more sophisticated. The days of throwing up a firewall to fix a problem are over. And it's less common now for attackers to break in through the front door. It's becoming more likely that an end-user will launch a worm or bot that causes an attack. It's not that hard; a hacker can send 100 spam e-mails to a company and get one lucky hit. So if you are working on your company's computer security strategy, pay at least as much attention to client-side protections as you do the hacker's old habits.
