| Up to 59% of Companies Could Have Active Malware on Their Networks Some 59% of companies that scanned between 20 and 30,000 PCs with Malware Radar had active malware on their computers. Malware Radar is an online, on-demand, automated malware audit service for businesses, which detects and eliminates all malicious code (viruses, Trojans, spyware...) installed on corporate networks. It also identifies security flaws in computers. As it's an online service, it does not require installation on computers; simply a computer with an Internet connection is enough to scan the corporate network. "The spectacular increase in the amount of malicious code in circulation (PandaLabs detected as much malware in 2006 as in the previous 15 years combined) has shown that traditional solutions are no longer enough. Panda offers companies a new security model based on complementing solutions already installed on desktops and servers with periodic scans with Malware Radar, capable of finding and removing even the malware that evades traditional solutions", explains Borja Bonilla, Malware Radar Product Manager. The increase in malware and the need for companies to have additional protection is reflected in the data gathered by Malware Radar from over 4,500 companies of all sizes. Active malicious code was found in almost half (47%) of companies that audited between 10 and 19 computers. 37% of companies that scanned between 5 and 9 computers had malware running at the time of the scan. As for companies that scanned between 1 and 4 computers, active malware was found in 35% of cases. Detection ratios Companies - With active malware: - 1 to 4 PCs - 35% - 5 PCs or more - 37% - 10 PCs or more - 47% - 20 PCs or more - 59%. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
