Talkback
Commenting on the PricewaterhouseCoopers and DTI research, Mike Fenton, director, Network Box UK said: “Today’s results underline what Network Box has been saying for many months. Conventional anti-virus software is not providing the protection that UK companies need. With actively pushed updates and a fully managed service, Network Box technology has successfully protected its many thousands of clients worldwide.”
The survey found that 'UK businesses appear only too aware of the threat posed by viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other malicious code', with 93 per cent having anti-virus software. Despite this 72 per cent of UK businesses suffered one or more infections during the past year.
With 'always-on' Internet connections becoming the norm, the speed with which viruses can spread across the globe has accelerated considerably. Therefore, the timeliness of anti-virus signature updating has become more critical. According to the research, the overwhelming majority of anti-virus products rely on the user periodically polling the anti-virus vendors for signature updates.
Mike commented: “Network Box is different, it uses its unique push technology to update protection - on average 12 times a day. Not only are updates frequent, they are intelligent. For example, the updating takes place within seconds of a new anti-virus signature becoming available.”
The Network Box approach is particularly effective against blended threats when compared to alternative solutions:
· Push updating of anti-virus signatures enables rapid protection to be deployed against traditional e-mail born and other viruses.
· Network Box’s managed service approach means it will expertly configure your firewall to the specific communication needs of your business, so only those ports you need open for commercial reasons are left open, thus reducing the potential for successful firewall intrusion.
· Network Box’s fully integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) signature blocking systems means that Network Box protects open ports against know threats, whilst IDP heuristics provide a high degree of protection against unknown threats.
