Description
Malicious code includes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware. The code provides the ability for a malicious user to read from and write to files and folders on a computer's hard drive. It also has the ability to run and attach programs, which provides a high risk potential for the distribution of malicious mobile code. Once it has residency within the network, unauthorized users are able to breach firewalls and access sensitive data by assuming the identity of authorized users. Upon detection of traffic transporting this code, the network element must perform organization defined actions. This requirement is applicable to network device management and is not applicable to the routing function.
