Spyware White Papers

Real World Security With Cooperative Enforcement

Overview Until recently, endpoint policy enforcement always involved installing Integrity client software on PCs. Client-based security provides the most comprehensive protection for vulnerable endpoints, but in most cases an enterprise is unable to install client software on guest computers that access its network. Network guests such as business partners, customers, and even employees using home PCs are increasingly allowed to connect to an enterprise's Web based portals, applications, and data. If their PCs have been compromised by keystroke loggers or other types of spyware, they can cause the same types of security breaches as unprotected enterprise assets. Zone Labs developed Integrity Clientless Security to close this security hole.
