Your Computers Are Under Constant Threat From Malicious Attacks..... While less visible to users than spam and virus attacks, spyware and adware constitute a serious threat to enterprises. It is estimated that 30% of enterprise desktops are infected with spyware at any given time. The danger in spyware is that users are not even aware of its existence and the potential damage it may be causing. Secretly installed spyware can subject your company and your employees to invasions of personal privacy, loss of confidential information, performance degradation, network congestion, and reduced productivity. In a recent report, Gartner characterized spyware as a serious security problem: “Spyware is a critical security threat to corporate systems and data. It has evolved from being an occasional nuisance to something that wastes IT user and technical support resources, and compromises the integrity of corporate systems, applications and data. Although many tools can eradicate the resulting system corruption, most tools are not designed for use in corporate environments. In the near term, IT organizations should deploy multiple tools and plan to exploit emerging anti-spyware technologies from major security vendors.” (Source: Gartner report, September 2004). Most solutions offered today are reactive in nature (e.g., anti-virus, intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, and anti-spyware software that identify known threats) and as such are powerless against new spyware attacks. Finjan delivers proactive content security solutions based on Application-Level Behavior Blocking technology that protect companies from both known as well as new, unknown spyware attacks driven by active content technologies, such as Java applets, ActiveX controls, Java Scripts, VB Scripts, macros or executable files.
