Anti virus solutions to prevent network intrusion

Malicious websites form some of the biggest threats to company networks in the current digital environment. As such additional anti virus solutions must be used to prevent intrusion of the company network.

What makes these sites so dangerous?

Unsuspecting employees may be fooled into thinking that they pay for a service or charity organization through the use of their credit cards. They make use of the so-called secure login at the website and provide their personal information to the hackers without even knowing it. Money is stolen from the employee credit card, but that is just on an individual level. The second level that these sites operate on is to install code onto the client computer and thus enter the company network. Keystroke logging will take place and data will be stolen. This may mean compromising not only your own company network, but also the information of your clients.

How to prevent this through effective anti virus solutions

The best policy is to educate employees about the various threats and to encourage them to make use of their Alertpay, Setcom or Paypal accounts to make payments rather than using their credit cards. Also educate them to use a different password for every website that they use and definitely not one that they use for their banking as well.
