A salesforce from an ecommerce global organization has begun to raise some concerns about the orders they are transmitting over the Internet from their customers' site to the organization's global headquarters.

It seems the original orders are being decreased from their original quantities.

For example one order was originally sent from a customer's site where the customer order 100 items. But when the transmission reached the accounting office at the organization's headquarters the order had been reduced to 50 items.

What type of attack is the organization experiencing?

A. Interruption

B. Fabrication

C. Modification

D. Interception

Furthermore, how would you address this issue? Where would you start?

Why do you suppose there is a need or market for Virtual Firewalls such as an ASA1000V? What about multi-tenant security do virtual firewalls address this concern?

Moreover does manageability become an issue with physical perimeter firewalls, data center firewalls, and now virtual firewalls within in a datacenter?

Or is this just another layer of defense in depth addressing the trend toward virtual environments?
