Beyond Anti-Virus: Defeating Today's Blended Security Threats

Overview With today's increasingly complex, blended threatscape, an anti-virus solution alone isn't enough to protect your network. You need to consider a strategy that moves beyond malware-specific point products to give you comprehensive control of legitimate applications, configuration, and user behavior.

During this TechRepublic Webcast Sophos' Senior Product Manager, Guy Edsall, explains how you can unify multiple control technologies at each of your network's vulnerable points--including your desktops, laptops, servers, and Internet gateway--to combat both known and emerging threats.

Now available on demand, this Webcast addresses these important topics and more:

Examples of today's blended threats
Developing a comprehensive security strategy
Critical questions to ask your security vendor
How to derive greater value from your existing security resources and budget
