Web browser windows of exposure shrink
Published September 28th, 2006 in All Categories, Security
Web browser makers are getting quicker at patching vulnerabilities, according to antivirus vendor 
Symantec’s latest global security report.
The average time between the release of malicious code that targets Web browsers and patches, dubbed the "window of exposure", was smaller for most vendors during the first half of 2006 compared with the last half of 2005, Symantec reported on Monday.
During the window of exposure, hackers can attack a system through the Web browser. System administrators and individuals instead have to use workarounds and best practices to reduce the risk of a successful hack.
