Bandwidth Protection
Bandwidth protection solution
A recent incident in the Internet environment illustrates the importance of adequate bandwidth protection. A worm outbreak in 2007 on the Skype instant messaging network affected thousands of users. Companies which allowed workers to participate in Skype messaging during work hours were severely affected. Only those companies which already had the update for safeguarding against the Ramex worm or had adequate bandwidth protection were not affected.
Employees who entered the chat systems were invited to click on an image. The unsuspecting users would click on the image and the downloadable executable took its destruction course.
Companies need to take steps to ensure adequate bandwidth protection. Malware has infiltrated networks through chat facilities. Companies that allow their workers to participate in social networking facilities risk the leakage of confidential information.
