The objective of this thesis was firstly to examine the possibilities of creating a universal tool for evaluating IT-security. When all the material was gathered we saw that we had strayed away from our subject and that our focus was on IT-threats and IT-professionals apprehensions and possibilities on the subject. The purpose of this thesis was there after to find and identify threats and counter measures in publications and later discuss these with IT-professionals. We found and identified several threats that the professionals encountered in their work. These threats ranged from techniques used by hackers to threats that can arise when the users on the network are poorly educated. The counter measures that were identified were firstly the usual well-known ones such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems and antivirus programs. Later on in our research we found other counter measures such as PAPAI and SBA Scenario that are overall solutions for preventing a network from being violated. When we had had our discussions with the IT-professionals we could tell that some threats occur more frequently than others and that some counter measures were more suitable than others.
