Virus attacks are the most elusive yet damaging of e-mail threats. Disguised as personal,
professional or unsolicited e-mail, viruses cause havoc to networks worldwide on a daily basis.
Networks are extremely vulnerable between the time of a virus outbreak and when an antivirus
signature is available. This window of vulnerability is often 24 hours or longer, causing
destruction and vast costs. The complexity and speed of virus attacks is so overwhelming,
typical point-product anti-virus solutions are not enough. A multi-layered approach is
essential to virus protection for any organization.
Equally as menacing, Zombie attacks, can disrupt business operations for days. Zombies are
remote-controlled code that get installed on end-user systems and send spam, phishing and
viruses using corporate e-mail systems. These Zombie attacks can lead to corporate domain
blacklisting, network bandwidth deterioration, intellectual property theft and substantial
costs to purge malicious code.
