Real time traffic data are used for evaluating the perfo rmance.
Highlights
In today’s networked environment where the business 10 min causing disruption to financial and government is conducted electronically, security breaches have institutions and precluded any human based response
From the estimates attributed by the financial sector, it has been inferred that the loss incurred on virus and worms attack is said to have the greatest impact that hampers the prosperity of a business entity

Summary
Caused significant damage for example, the Slammer worm infected more than 90% of vulnerable hosts within. Propagation speed and avoid being detected (Yu et al., These concerns are due the fact that the consequence of 2010) These worms which avoid being detected are of security breach affects the financial position of the two types, namely static and dynamic worms. For example Atak (Zdnet, 2005) and few cases of internet worm attack are as follows: CodeRed worm in 2001 (Moore et al, 2002), the Slammer worm in 2003 (Moore et al, 2003) and the Witty/Sasser worms in 2004 (Casado et al, 2005) All these worms self-stopping worm (Ma et al, 2005) change their propagation pattern to avoid being detected and punished for their activities. It can be concluded that computer virus and worms cause tremendous financial losses to security breached companies especially stock exchange environment. Large amount of loss can be saved by arresting rapid spread of the virus and worms to more number of systems
