IT security system
- Microsoft Forefront suite
Increasing the level of security of the IT system of a company can be achieved by using a few anti-virus scanners of various producers on one platform and in one IT environment. The product Microsoft Forefront is such a solution, which integrates a few anti-virus vendors in itself. Thanks to this, it provides comprehensive and multilayer protection against threats.
The insufficient protection is caused by the use of software containing only one anti-virus scanner for the critical resources of the company. If a scanner is inactive, viruses can spread through the organisation, quickly attacking each computer protected by the same faulty scanner.
The malicious software evolves as quickly as the software and tools for ensuring IT security. New types of threats appear every day - viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits, phishing type attacks or zero-day exploits. These types of attacks connected with protection on too low a level are constantly the greatest cause of financial losses in companies.
