AVIEN/AVIEWS Malware Management Guide |
|
This exciting new publishing project is being undertaken jointly by AVIEN, the Anti-Virus Information Exchange Network, and AVIEWS, the Anti-Virus Information & Early Warning System. AVIEN members represent the best-protected large organizations in the world, and millions of users. When they talk, security vendors listen: so should you. AVIEWS members represent nearly all the major vendors in the anti-virus research community, as well as many other researchers and companies, and include many top experts.
The book we are currently working on (it's anticipated that there will be others!) is a guide to managing malicious software and related security issues within the enterprise. The uniqueness of this book lies in its partnership between highly experienced, highly qualified corporate security practitioners and the anti-malware research community, as represented by AVIEN and its sibling AVIEWS. The book therefore reflects the expertise of security administrators and managers at the customer coalface and the technical and developmental expertise of both industry and independent researchers.

AVIEWS is an international on-line community dedicated to a cooperative, grassroots information sharing effort to reduce the impact of malicious code (viruses, worms, Trojan Horses, Spyware) and other related vulnerabilities. Its members include anti-virus vendors, researchers, security experts, product testers, journalists, systems administrators, and a whole lot more besides.
The Anti-Virus Information & Early Warning System (AVIEWS) grew out of the original AVIEN network. One of the early objectives of AVIEN was to ensure that everyone knew about threats before they became a major issue. Once the initial Early Warning System was organized, requests to sign up for it started to come in from people not meeting the AVIEN membership criteria. A vote was taken, and AVIEN created a dedicated service called the EWS.
In mid-2002, the EWS evolved into the AVIEWS, as a natural result of the growth in interest amongst members. The AVI-EWS is more than just an alerting system - it is the first real interactive Anti-Virus community which includes not only vendor representatives but also specialists from client organizations.
