VIRUS PROTECTION / SECURITY
Virus Protection/security on your network today is totally different than 5 years ago. Just installing Anti-Virus software on your computer is NOT enough. You need to have a multi-layer security system that should include Anti-Virus software, Gateway Anti-virus (at the firewall before data comes into your network), Anti-Spam (that includes removing spam before it comes into your network), Email virus scanning (that checks emails for viruses BEFORE they get to your inbox).
The combination of gateway, email store and desktop anti-virus protection provides an aggressive, highly effective means of preventing infection, eliminating a “single point of failure”. It is almost certain that viruses will be stopped somewhere along their path from the Internet or another internal device, reducing the burden of desktop anti-virus protection alone. After all, one desktop that is vulnerable puts the entire network at risk.”
