Anti-Virus
All networked organisations are under siege from viruses, worms, spam, phishing attacks, Trojans and spyware on a daily basis.
Known collectively as ‘Malware’, these pieces of ‘malicious code’ can enter your network via email, portable storage devices such as USB keys, infected files and applications downloaded from the Internet and instant messaging.
Introduction of malware onto your network can be a result of a targeted attack or an accidental mishap. Either way, you need to guard against the eventualities, such as the unwitting transfer of infected data to your clients, partners and employees.
Most viruses today are specifically created for financial gain, to harvest data, such as credit card information, bank account details and other highly sensitive data and can materialise on your network in the form of:
- Exploits: used by hackers to introduce fast-spreading malicious code
- Cookies: can compromise privacy and encourage spam.
- MS Office Documents: can contain macro viruses and embedded malicious code
- Hacker attacks: numerous forms e.g. Denial of Service (DoS), relaying, email spoofing, attachment spoofing and manipulation
- Malicious Code: is easy to construct and spreads
rapidly, and is often found in the form of:
- Java Applets
- ActiveX Controls
- Scripting languages
- Browser plug-ins
- Pushed content
