Overview of the current virus threat.
Many organizations are working hard to secure themselves from
the growing threats of computer viruses, Trojan horses, hacker agents,
worms, and other malicious code. Yet the headlines are dominated
with news of the latest computer related disaster more frequently
than at any time before. The anti-virus industry has been responding
to these threats with ever-quicker responses to the rapid onslaught
of malicious code, while corporations establish strict virus protection
policies. Yet the number of related disasters continues to grow
with over $12 billion in damage in the first 6 months of 2001 alone.
It is proposed that the problem may reside in the lack of more comprehensive
protection measures.
Placing an organization's entire anti-virus defense at the desktop
level is similar to locking all of the doors in a house… while
leaving windows and other entry points open. While desktop anti-virus
is a necessary protection against the traditional computer virus
that was typically transferred by floppy disks, etc., and the primary
virus security option for highly mobile laptop users, it is important
to understand the limitations of this single point of defense. Virus
writers have already seen this trend in protection, and have switched
their strategies to leverage other entry points into the enterprise.
The International Computer Security Association (ISCA) recently
published the results of its annual "Computer Virus Prevalence
Survey 2001", which indicates that 87% of all major virus infections
are now transmitted through e-mail. And given the speed of this
electronic communication, these newer computer viruses can spread
much faster than the time required to update all of the desktop
and laptop systems in a medium or large organization.
While protecting many of Orange County Business from the "virus
threat", Network Designs, Inc. has recognized the need for
a scalable high-availability antiviral security solution that stops
viruses transmitted through email and the Internet… before
they could reach the desktop. To properly address the security threat
this requires centralization as well as provides a scalable, high-performance
solution, in addition to an anti virus removal and content scanning
service that can meet the needs of the most demanding of environments.
Starting January 1, 2002 Network Designs, Inc. will be offering
such a centralized service. To keep up with the constant virus threat
our Automated Virus Removal System updates virus signature files
twice daily and is robust enough to handle thousand of email per
