Anti-Virus (A/V) vendors have doubled their signatures in less than two years in an attempt to keep pace with the increasing trends of malware. But they can't keep up because malware is now designed to attack specific businesses and systems instead of causing general harm to the public Internet. This paper discusses the evolving nature of malware, and why enterprises continue to be highly vulnerable to targeted malware attacks despite deployment of common security solutions like anti-virus software and traditional firewalls. Accordingly, the paper then describes new solutions designed to be much more proactive and effective in protecting an organization's inbound and outbound traffic.
