- Identifying New Computer Viruses and Worms Objective: Examine some current computer virus threats. Description: As a security professional, you must keep abreast of the manynew viruses and worms that might attack networks and computers. If one computer is compromised, all computers in your network could be compromised. Many firewalls don't detect malware attached to an executable program or amacro virus (covered later in this section), so securityprofessionals needto train users on the dangers of installing software, including games and screensavers, on a computer. Remember, a firewall doesn't examine packets internal to the network, so malware can spread internally in an organization regardless of how effective the firewall is. A good place to learn about new threats is the Internet. 1. Start your Webbrowser, and go to www.us-cert.gov. 2.
