Dealing with malware has become an ongoing headache for IT
staff. It is a continuing challenge to find an effective
solution that also takes into account other security and compliance
requirements.
Some factors that IT staff must consider
include:
- Real-time communication
such as
IM,
P2P, and other
Web 2.0 applications often use port hopping, encryption, and
non-standard protocols
- Unauthorized applications
are difficult to track and control
- Most anti-virus solutions
only react to malware once an infection has occurred
