Network Security - Anti-Spyware/Malware

It was recently estimated that 90% of all PC’s are harbouring 30 or more pieces of Spyware/Malware and that these are to blame for half of all PC crashes within an organisation.

Spyware is a general term for a class of harmful applications that are distributed through the user browsing the Internet in a "normal" fashion. Typically Spyware is installed without the user’s knowledge by attaching itself onto what seems a harmless download.

Once installed it secretly gathers information from the infected PC, this includes facts about the PC itself, the user’s browsing habits and the network the PC is sat on. This personal information is then transmitted over the Internet connection without the user’s explicit consent or knowledge.

The potential for damage to your network and organisation from Spyware includes: thefts of personal and intellectual property, opening a backdoor into your network, violation of privacy, productivity losses and bandwidth costs.

Our services

Whilst there are a number of freeware products that can be downloaded to prevent Spyware, they need to be run individually at each and every PC.

Concise IT can provide enterprise-wide solutions that prevent, detect and remove Spyware BEFORE they reach your network. Because new instances of Spyware are constantly emerging, our solutions are automatically and regularly updated with new signatures, which are countermeasures for the latest threats.
