Cyber Security Risks Report From SANS

SANS (SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security) has published a report about cyber security risks.

The report sums up popular unpatched 3rd party programs (i.e. Adobe PDF Reader, QuickTime, Adobe Flash) as biggest risk on client-side. The biggest risk on server-side in turn are web applications. The combination of vulnerable web applications and vulnerable client software is frequently used to inject a client exploit into a web application in order to pivot and attack inside the attacked network.

Full report can be read here.
