Anti-Virus White Papers

Evolving Email, Web and IM Threats and How to Manage Them

Overview Email, web and Instant Messaging (IM) lie at the heart of today's business environment. The threats are very real - and so is their potential impact. When a virus brings the network down, for instance, one picks up the tab in terms of lost time and damage to business efficiency. One may well be faced with financial, legal and brand equity implications, yet dealing with the problem eats up resources - and the IT budget in particular. Moreover, intellectual property is at risk if one falls victim to the increasingly targeted, converging suite of commercially motivated threats now confronting small and medium businesses around the world. This MessageLabs Paper gives an overview of the current "Threat landscape" and the dangers facing the organisation.
