Anti-Virus

The enormous growth and acceptance of online communications brings nearly as many risks to organizations today as it does benefits. The potential loss of email functionality for organizations often translates into lost revenue with a decrease in employee productivity and loss of organizational confidence. With the increasing threat of spam, viruses, and other malicious code, it has become imperative to have a secure messaging infrastructure in place.

At its peak infection rate in January 2004, about 1 in 12 emails on the Internet were 'MyDoom' viruses. In 2003, the estimated cost to businesses from malicious code exceeded $55 Billion in damages and lost revenue, up from estimates of $20-30 Billion in 2002. In a survey conducted by the Computer Security Institute and the FBI, 90% of large businesses reported some sort of security breach in the past twelve months. The potential for malicious code attacks, and reach of their consequences, make it clear that wherever there are users communicating online, there must also a means of securing those communications.
