Quick Bytes: Viruses, recovery costs increase

Virus disasters--where 25 or more computers within an organization are infected at the same time--increased 15 percent in 2003 from the previous year, and the costs of recovering from those disasters increased 23 percent over the same time period, from about $81,000 to almost $100,000. Those are some highlights of a survey of 300 companies and government agencies in the 9th Annual ICSA Labs Virus Prevalence Survey. @ More on the survey is available through SM Online.
