Security as a Service
Ensure systems, data and colleagues are protected 24/7
Corporate systems are increasingly exposed to internet based threats whether via email or rogue websites. Organisations of all sizes face the challenge of protecting against constantly evolving threats to internal systems and colleagues both inside and outside the security perimeter.
Remote workers such as teleworkers and employees at remote offices are susceptible to security risks since they frequently access the Internet outside the protections available through the corporate network or VPN. When outside the corporate network IT users may inadvertently expose themselves to threats simply by visiting a website.
Email threats have evolved, going beyond viruses and spam alone. Virus, spam and spyware writers are now taking advantage of each other’s methods. Some attacks are so targeted that they never appear on the anti-virus industry radar and are not properly identified or stopped by standard
signature-based anti-virus scanners.
