Online Threats to Business

The Internet threat landscape is constantly evolving as criminals look for new ways to make money by targeting the computers used by businesses and consumers. Viruses and other malware threats are growing rapidly both in quantity and complexity. Many fast-spreading and destructive viruses are especially written to work in the Microsoft Exchange/Outlook environment.

Targeted attacks against specific companies or even individual computers are becoming increasingly common. Spyware and hidden rootkits are used to steal confidential information from businesses.

Infected computers lower performance and productivity. Dealing with an infection in a corporate network can be costly, time-consuming and frustrating. Malicious software can also damage a company’s reputation by sending out infected e-mail.

Businesses need to protect themselves against the whole range of malicious software, hacking and stealthy intrusions. F-Secure’s advanced security products provide the essential protection businesses require in today’s connected world.
