The Problem ::

Unauthorized, hostile applications that are installed on machines in your corporate environment (commonly referred to as Spyware) pose serious information security issues to every organization. Respected industry research indicates that over half of corporate systems are infected with actual spyware applications. If tracking cookies were included, the infection percentage rose to over 80%. Pop-ups, browser hijacking, malicious browser plug-ins, unsolicited “special offers”, keystroke logging, slow Internet access and workstation performance degradation - these are all common manifestations of Spyware. Losses due to Spyware infections can cost an organization significantly in financial resources, lost productivity and worse, exposure of sensitive company or employee information to unauthorized parties. Current anti-virus and firewall applications are not sufficient to address this threat because they either lack specialized spyware targeted functionality, aren’t thorough or do not address issues such as mobile users becoming infected while accessing the Internet through means other than a tightly controlled corporate firewall.
