Stopping the Targeted Attack: Why Comprehensive Malware Protection is Superior to Anti-Virus Signatu
Wednesday, 24th January 2007
Published by:  As use of the Web continues to grow, virus outbreaks and other forms of Web-borne threats known as 'malware' continue to grow as well. Security systems such as traditional firewall or anti-virus, while providing vital security, were not designed to combat software targeted at individual organizations or cleverly hidden inside seemingly harmless Web access protocols. Malware is designed to attack specific businesses/systems instead of causing general harm to the public Internet. Organizations need a comprehensive solution that goes beyond desktop or gateway anti-virus protections that rely solely on signatures of known threats, and they need to be protected from known and unknown threats and all the varieties and forms that sophisticated malware takes. |
