New computer viruses are being created on a daily basis, all attempting to reside anywhere on the Internet. Strong virus protection has indeed become a corporate responsibility, not only in protecting themselves but also their customers and suppliers.
Mobile PC’s are considered to be one of the most potentially dangerous devices as they are often located remotely from the IT administrators. Corporations have to provide secure mechanisms for updating pattern files etc. often when the mobile PC is located overseas.
The MSBLAST virus caused major problems for IT administrators in that it didn’t rely on email or web access to infect vulnerable PC’s. Only when they became infected did the IT administrators update their Operating Systems and subsequently review their firewall policies.
Exlayer is proud to confirm that none of their customers were seriously damaged by the MSBLAST virus. The small number of mobile devices that did become infected were “cleaned” within a few hours. Exlayer are able to provide the mechanisms that automatically update Operating Systems, regardless of user interaction, and maintain updated virus patterns automatically. Exlayer will protect yours and your customers’ information.
