Antivirus software is a necessary element of modern business

Viruses can get in in a variety of ways - from users' flash cards, from password-protected archives attached to email messages and thus avoiding verification on the server, from infected sites that users followed links from emails they received

The main ways viruses penetrate a corporate network

Removable devices

The spread of viruses through removable media is one of the most common types. The user, connecting his flash drive to an infected computer, infects his drive. This happens completely unnoticed by the user. The user does not see any extra files on his drive because the virus hides its files. Then a clean computer, without antivirus protection, to which the infected flash drive is connected, also becomes a victim of the virus

Personal, including mobile devices of employees

Mobile devices in the modern world are becoming an increasingly popular source of black income for criminals every day. It is hard to imagine a smartphone without a mobile banking application installed on it. This is a tasty morsel for virus writers, who are coming up with increasingly sophisticated ways to steal money from their victims' bank accounts every day

Websites

Today, the most popular channel for distributing viruses is websites. A user wandering through the vastness of the World Wide Web and, it would seem, on popular sites can download malware. Often, hackers hack sites and upload malicious code to them, which automatically downloads malware to your computer

E-mail

Email is the most common channel for ransomware viruses. This type of virus is sent as links or attachments to a letter. The whole meanness of this type of virus is that it does not require administrator rights to run on a computer. And no antivirus blocks the activity of this program, since the virus uses legitimate software that is designed to encrypt data in the corporate segment. In this regard, the only way to protect your data is to archive the data on a third-party medium, or better yet, in another location

Vulnerabilities

Software vulnerabilities are another reason why computers become infected with malware. A vulnerability is a software error that is exploited by a virus and allows it to compromise the integrity of the system

Social engineering

Social engineering is a method of obtaining necessary information or actions from a person by exploiting human weaknesses. Using social engineering, an attacker can force the victim to install the malware he needs and gain access to the victim's computer

The need to protect a company
from malware

The Need to Protect Workstations
It is necessary to protect not only computers running Windows, but also systems running Linux and Unix-type operating systems, as well as OS X — malware, having penetrated unprotected machines, even if it cannot infect the operating systems and running applications themselves, can use them as a source of infection — for example, through publicly accessible network resources

The need to protect office and personal devices of employees

Threats

Almost two thirds of employees (63.3%) have remote access to corporate information from personal devices, including mobile ones.

Up to 70% of local network infections occur from personal laptops, netbooks and ultrabooks, employees' mobile devices, as well as removable media (flash drives), including those brought from home.

60% of home computers have no protection at all! This means that outside the office, users are not protected from hacker attacks, the applications they use may have vulnerabilities, and their computers may have viruses and Trojans. At the same time, these people regularly log into the company's local network.

This creates the possibility of leakage, substitution or compromise of important data for the company

Facts

Being excellent specialists in their field, the company's employees are not experts in the field of anti-virus security, and are often captive to myths.

It is in the interests of the company itself to ensure the security of all devices on which its employees work - no matter where the employees work on them, and no matter who these devices belong to.

To do this, companies need a tool that can guarantee:

  • protection of any information on users' devices;
  • the impossibility of spreading viruses and Trojans from users' devices;
  • protection for any type of device, including mobile ones - even one device left without protection serves as a loophole for cybercriminals.

But personal devices are also used by employees for personal purposes!

And for personal purposes, you can let your child sit at the laptop, spend an evening on a virus-infested social network, download and install a music file from a dubious site... What kind of corporate data security is that!

When using Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite with the control center, you can do the almost impossible - protect any device in a way that benefits everyone - both the company and its employees

Best experience

Purchase a license for Dr.Web Desktop Security Suite for your employees' personal devices - then all computers that have access to your company's local network will have protection from a single manufacturer.

Use Dr.Web Control Center to ensure compliance with your company's information security policy on your employees' personal devices, including the impossibility of disabling updates, regular scans, and removing individual Dr.Web protection components.

An employee's opinion about which antivirus should be installed on his personal device should be IGNORED - as long as this device is part of the corporate network. Otherwise, such a device should be declared "untrusted" and should not be allowed into the network.

Only if these conditions are met can you guarantee that nothing malicious gets into the network from employees' personal computers

Benefit for the company
  • employee loyalty. Antivirus as a gift is a great bonus!;
  • reduced cost of protection organization;
  • the ability to control any protected machines from a single point;
  • the ability of employees to work anywhere in the world with equal protection.
  • guaranteed data security (including personal) at any time.
  • reduction in downtime due to infection.

Employees have long gone beyond the company's protection perimeter, and it is no longer possible to return them to its boundaries. And it is not worth it. It is more logical to expand the boundaries of the office perimeter and include the personal space of each employee in it

The need to protect office and
personal mobile devices of employees

Threats

The number of threats to mobile OS is growing at a catastrophic rate along with the growth in the number of devices used. There are already so-called banking Trojans for mobile devices.

Mobile devices are at great risk of loss/theft. Information (including passwords and logins for accessing corporate resources) can fall into not always friendly hands

Solution

In particular, Dr.Web for Android contains the following protection components:

  • antivirus — it will prevent malicious files from getting onto the device, including those designed to monitor the owner's movements, as well as his contacts and conversations;
  • anti-theft — a system for protecting against loss of a mobile device. If the device is stolen or lost, you can remotely erase all data from it;
  • anti-spam — protection against unwanted messages and calls, as well as destructive SMS Trojans.

Attention!
Dr.Web Control Center allows you to centrally control the anti-virus protection system of any number of mobile devices running Android and Windows Mobile OS

The Need to Protect File
Servers

Threat

As a rule, organizations protect only the work computers of employees, leaving servers, mobile devices, and home computers of employees unprotected. As a result, a virus that has penetrated workstations breaks free, easily penetrating servers with critical information.

Why is it important to protect servers?

  • a user can infect a server with a virus at an unknown moment of infection (by bringing it or launching it from storage). The installed antivirus will immediately catch it, based on heuristic mechanisms. In extreme cases, it will cure the virus during the next update;
  • the server can be hacked by hackers. The installed antivirus will not allow this: it will track and destroy malicious programs. If the server is under the control of a centralized management system, the administrator will immediately receive a notification about a change in the state of the station (for example, about an attempt to stop the protection system);
  • the modern world is permeated with digital technologies. Users can work not only in the office, but also at home, store data on the company's file servers - and on Internet servers. Use their flash drives - and those received from friends and colleagues at work. These media may contain viruses;
  • modern cell phones can be compared with computers in their capabilities and the number of vulnerabilities - they use operating systems and applications that can also be infected. From them, viruses can get into the corporate network and reach the server.
Solution

Dr.Web Control Center allows centralized control of the anti-virus protection system of any number of file servers running Windows, OS X, Unix (Samba), Novell NetWare, Novell Storage Services

Saving on expenses on the Internet
and monitoring the actions of employees

Threat

Just one hour a day of personal Internet use by each company employee accounts for 12.5% ​​of the company's total payroll costs.

During certain periods of the workday (for example, lunch break), company employees take up to 80% of the channel's bandwidth for tasks not related to work.

Best practice

During working hours, personnel should have access only to Internet resources that are necessary from the work point of view.

Dr.Web Control Center provides the ability to centrally block personnel access to unnecessary Internet resources.

The opinion of personnel about the harmfulness of certain sites should be IGNORED.
