Cutting the cost and complexity of managing endpoint security

Securing the business network is a constantly evolving, resource-consuming task. Not only has malware become increasingly complex – using blended techniques and spreading ever faster – but also the motivation behind it has changed.

Threats have become more targeted and surreptitious, written by cybercriminals for financial gain and with the intention of dropping beneath the radar of much detection software. The proportion of email which is virus infected has fallen considerably over the last year as hackers have turned from mass-mailing attacks to targeted Trojan horses containing spyware. In May 2005, one in every 38 emails was infected, now this number is just one in 141, as criminals look for new ways into the corporate network.1 The relentless emergence of new threats, like spyware, adware and hackers, makes it harder than ever for organizations to keep themselves protected from intrusion and infection.
