Spyware Solutions from SECURE COMPUTING®

Spyware is one of the biggest cyber threats organization's face today. Spyware downloads itself onto ususpecting user's PCs and then sends information back to the covert Spyware host. Given the right circumstances, virtually every piece of information, every file, every bit of proprietary data on your network, is at risk from Spyware. Spyware can result in a variety of impacts ranging from drains on computer resources and productivity—including a significant increase in help desk calls—to stealing proprietary company information and opening networks to malicious attacks. It's not always obvious that Spyware is present, making Spyware a particularly insidious type of invasion. According to IDC, Spyware is the fourth-greatest threat to a company's enterprise network security, and 67 percent of all computers have some form of Spyware on them. Osterman Research showed another unfortunate result of Spyware—44 percent of all home users use email and the Web less today than they did a year ago, due to the threats of spam, Spyware, and other related problems.
