Anti-Virus White Papers
Fighting the Battle Against Zero-Day Virus Threats
Overview
Attacks from viruses and other malicious code can have serious consequences for your business. New, rapidly deploying threats that spread around the world in just minutes mean that simply deploying a signature-based solution is no longer good enough. You need to take additional steps immediately to prevent these new "Zero-Day" attacks from causing serious disruption.
Traditional anti-virus programs rely on signatures created by the anti-virus vendor, but this process takes time. The independent testing laboratory AV-test.org found response times ranging from just under seven hours to almost 30 hours, with the four leading vendors (Sophos, McAfee, Symantec, and Trend Micro) clocking in at no fewer than 12 hours. To find out how to provide real-time virus defense for your infrastructure, download CipherTrust's FREE whitepaper, "Choose Your Weapon: Fighting the Battle Against Zero-Day Virus Threats."
