Secure your company’s valuable resources.
Threat - Protection of your firms IT resources and information is arguably the most pressing and critical business issue to date. Data protection and retention is of utmost importance to any business and the ability to ensure the protection and privacy of consumer data is a must.
Malware is defined as software which purpose is to do harm to the computer, usually with malicious intent. Spyware is defined as software which is embedded in a computer unbeknownst to the user, again usually deployed for the personal gain of someone else. It collects data on the user and the traffic on the computer which is then sent a remote “spy” who then uses the information maliciously.
A full-scale Malware attack has the capability of grinding your business to an immediate halt. The consequences are far reaching and have the potential to be detrimental to your business’ operation as well as your reputation. You will have seen articles in the press, each week about another data breach, where thousands, if not millions of personal details are ‘leaked’ on to the Internet for personal gain.
Spyware can be embedded on to PCs on your network whereby the spy gathers competitive information about your business’ operations, competitive strategy, and customer profiles. All this data collection is done without any inside knowledge and is virtually undetectable. One only needs to use their imagination to envision the devastation this could cause. And interestingly, you are actually paying to deliver this information back to the central “spy”.
The rates of infection of Malware and Spyware are staggering. It is clear that no organization – large or small is safe. Claims of rates of Spyware infection of businesses range from 50%-80%2. Industry analyst IDC has reported '...30 percent of companies with 500 employees and more have been infected with Malware through web surfing. The reality is your firm will not be safe unless you employ integrated protection system.
