Organizations can do more over the Web today than ever before. 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.
Current security systems such as IDS, traditional firewall, or
anti-virus, while providing vital security, were not designed to combat
software code targeted at individual organizations or cleverly hidden
inside seemingly harmless Web access protocols. While organizations
need the Web, they need to be protected from it as well.
In this white paper, we discuss the evolving nature of malware, and why enterprises continue to be highly vulnerable to targeted malware attacks despite deployment of common security solutions like anti-virus software and traditional firewalls.
Accordingly, the paper then describes new solutions designed to be much more proactive and effective in protecting an organization’s inbound and outbound traffic.
