Realtechnews.com has a candid state of security (or lack thereof) on the Windows PC platform, the same platform that a number of IP Telephony solutions, including Cisco CallManager, rely on. As if we needed a reminder just how insecure the world’s number one server infrastructure platform is, check out Realtechnews.com’s statistics:
- 7900+ new virusses for Windows in the first half of 2005
- A third of all e-mail contains a virus (there are no known email virusses for non-Windows platforms)
- Connected to the Internet in an unfirewalled state, the average PC is compromised within 12 minutes
