Despite continuing enhancements in perimeter security, viruses, worms and other malicious code present an ever increasing threat to the security of enterprise systems. With more than 100,000 viruses already identified, new ones continue to fuel the fire: Phishing email scams and open-source botnets - networks of infected machines harnessed for malicious operations - represent a clear and present danger to the security of mission-critical systems, sensitive corporate data and the livelihoods of each individual user. This whitepaper contains statistics about the growing number of security threats present today, as well as best practices for security, including combining firewalls and reactive anti-virus software with an endpoint security solution to proactively fight viruses at the application level, regardless of how they are introduced.
