Story: Security experts: Botnets biggest threat on net
Windows and Botnets
WIth respect, I run the security for over 280 Windows Servers and 3000+ laptop/desktops, and other than the few I see every Sunday morning and when executives etc come back from conferences. We do not have a problem, the front end IPS and firewall logs collect the data on infected machines and we disinfect the machines proactively.
Also consider a Network Access Control system in addition to above to quarantine the machines in their own Vlan prior to disinfection.
Security is and should be proactive, not just relying on AV and patching to ensure protection, passive protection is no protection.
