(0)Overview: Business users face more than increasing workloads and demanding deadlines in an ordinary workday. They also deal with a wealth of well-disguised and sometimes dangerous malware, which litters the online environment and silently pushes its way onto networks.
Malware takes on many different forms, from viruses and spyware, to phishing, spam and social engineering attacks. The most common channels for malware include e-mail, Web and instant messaging (IM), leading to the collective phrase “converged threats.”
With e-mail threats a constant menace and IM and Web threats exploding on the landscape, aggressive, pro-active solutions are required by companies of all sizes. These solutions must leverage the current threat landscape by blocking potentially dangerous traffic and providing zero-hour reaction to new attacks as they’re discovered.
MessageLabs offers a battery of appropriate defenses and countermeasures to help keep corporate systems and networks safe from attack. Using a combination of signatures to tag known threats, plus heuristics and content analysis to recognize and foil suspicious links, software and active content, MessageLabs can help enterprises and organizations face down and conquer converged threats.
Thanks to special attention to malware DNA—a set of recognizable patterns for code, structure, behavior, delivery mechanisms and other tell-tale signs of malware’s presence—MessageLabs’ deep threat analysis is extraordinarily able to address these threats.
Read this white paper to learn about best methods, tools and technologies that reduce the risks in today’s and tomorrow’s converged threats.
