[SC-L] SearchSecurity: Badware versus malware

2012-05-08 Thread Gary McGraw
hi sc-l,

What’s worse, bad software or malicious software?  In fact, what’s the 
difference?

My second column for SearchSecurity is all about that.  Read it today.  And 
pass it on.
http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/opinion/Gary-McGraw-Eliminating-badware-addresses-malware-problem

Bottom line: Talking about malware may be more fun and entertaining than 
talking about endless security bugs, but if we’re going to combat malware we 
have to start with the badware vector.
