Safend Malware Protection

Malware - A Serious Organizational Threat

The classic approach to securing data by protecting the perimeter worked well in an environment of strictly wired networks and fixed storage devices. In today's open environment - where mobile storage, wireless access, and attachable devices are ubiquitous - securing data is a new challenge.

One of the key threats to sensitive data today is malware. And, given that over 70% of malware damage originates from within the firewall – it's clear that authorized users are key initiators of the majority of these breaches.

Whether malicious or accidental – the results of malware attacks are often damaging and can be devastating. Even the most innocuous devices connected to endpoints by authorized users, like MP3 players and disks on key, may be unknowingly infected with viruses, Trojan Horses, worms, and other malware - which can move into enterprise networks upon connection.
