XI.   CONCLUSION

Web threats are prevalent today and are growing in numbers and impact. Their complexity, large number

of variants, and use of multiple vectors, combined with their exploitation of the most commonly used

medium today - the Web - make Web threats the most challenging threat that consumers, businesses,

and services providers, have faced in a long time. Potential costs associated with these threats include

confidential information leakage and theft of network resources, with the adverse impact of erosion of

customers, trust, and brand reputation; regulatory and legal implications; negative public relations; and

loss of competitive advantage. Because conventional approaches fail to protect against Web threats, the

information security industry is at a crossroads. Businesses of all sizes, as well as service providers, need

to deploy solutions via an integrated, multi-layered approach to provide real-time, comprehensive

protection against these threats.
