Antivirus Solutions
are one step behind Viruses
Contributed by Panda Software
(USA), Inc.
In order to detect and eliminate new
viruses, antivirus solutions usually take a reactive approach: they wait
for it to appear, infecting its first computers and then they are
updated to combat it as soon as possible. Until now, antivirus
protection responded quickly enough to head off new viruses before they
could spread widely. For example, Panda's antivirus solutions are
updated automatically via the Internet, at least once a day.
However,
new
viruses and intruders have recently emerged with the capacity to infect
thousands of computers in a few hours, before
antivirus protection can be updated to combat them.
Sasser,
Netsky,
Mydoom
or
Sobig
are
good examples of these new generation viruses, which use new means of
propagation and exploit vulnerabilities in operating systems and the
most widely used software.
Dedicated Perimeter Protection Strategy
Contributed by Panda Software
(USA), Inc.
Latest
data indicates that one in every 204 e-mail messages contains a virus,
and that 99 percent of viruses enter companies via SMTP mail or HTTP
web-browsing. And its
not just viruses that cause problems. In January 2003, the SQL Slammer
worm hit thousands of servers around the world, exploiting a buffer
overflow vulnerability and causing denial of services in SQL servers
which resulted in losses estimated, according to Computer Economics, at
705 million euros. What’s
more, employee productivity is being increasingly degraded not only due
to the time they spend classifying and eliminating the large number of
spam messages that reach their inboxes, but also due to the time they
spend accessing inappropriate or unauthorized web content, which, if
distributed, can damage the corporate image.
