Howdy!
I'd like to thank those who have already taken the time to fill out our latest
survey, and request that a few more of you find the few minutes it will take.
The information we are gathering will help us pin-point the risk issues
associated with the increasingly porous perimeter as we extend VPNs to Vendors,
businesses we collaborate with, and even customers.
The original request description follows;
-----
Over the last decade, organizational boundaries have been extended through such
trends as the rapid development of information and communication technologies
and increasing pressure for partnering and outsourcing to remain competitive.
During this transition, traditional layers of internal and external separation
have been removed to foster enhanced communication and accessibility among
business partners.
Cybertrust is interested in your input on how the 'extended enterprise' has
affected information risk in your organization and how your security practices
are changing to meet these risks. A short survey (between 7 and 21 questions)
has been created and is accessible through this link:
http://research.zarca.com/clients/TruSecure_2/survey.aspx?sid=8
Once you have completed and submitted the survey, you will be able to view the
results from all participants as often as you like over the next few weeks.

Your participation is greatly appreciated,
Cheers,

NTBugtraq Editor's Note:
Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an
Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a
message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who
did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble
their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first
place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for
your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
