0

Estimates vary but the IT industry and the US Government has determined the costs of SPAM, Adware, Malware and Spyware will continue to increase over the next few years. All it takes is one careless user on in your computer network downloading a free file swapping program poisoned with these malicious programs to place user names, passwords, and customer data at risk without you ever knowing. This threat and costs associated with defending your company against attack is mounting daily. Spyware attacks are only going to continue to gain in frequency and cleverness. Unlike the viruses that simply disrupt network performance, Spyware and Adware have a financial goal that motivates them and hackers are doing everything possible to access your network.
