Growing businesses are plagued by the same risks as the largest enterprises, but they lack the IT resources, time, and budget to adequately protect themselves against today’s complex and sophisticated threats. They need to defend themselves against the same types of malware as large enterprises—Trojans and botnets; spam that’s often linked to phishing web sites, spyware, data loss, and theft; and exploits that can bring down their web sites.

Today’s malware distributors skirt traditional defenses by exploiting the “zero hour gap,” the time it takes to identify the attacking malware and write signatures that can detect and neutralize it. Recent studies have shown the lag time or gap between when a virus is recognized and a signature written to combat it can range from several hours to more than one day.

Unfortunately, layer upon layer of products hasn’t improved the overall security of organizations.

The Internet has proven to be a vital communications medium for worldwide commerce, but as an open and unprotected global network it can also present a wide range of threats that can cripple any business organization.
Several years ago, most Internet threats were relatively benign examples of a young adolescent’s technical expertise but over time they have evolved into increasingly sophisticated domestic and foreign attacks that are designed to capture financial, personal, or strategic business information. Threats now come in the form of deliberately malicious acts, and exploitative opportunities for hackers and/or organized crime. The impact is serious, and the landscape of victims is getting broader every day. In response, no organization can afford to have its networks remain unprotected.
