Protecting Enterprise and Industrial Networks

The danger from next generation malware has never been greater. Learn how advanced solutions from Norman deliver the most effective protection available for enterprise and industrial networks.

The danger from malicious software attacks on enterprises and industrial networks has never been higher. The major Internet service providers and security vendors report uncovering at least 50,000 samples of new malware each day. With the emergence of the Stuxnet worm (Win32/Stuxnet) over the summer of 2010, corporations and the public suddenly became aware of a new level sophistication associated with cyber-criminal attacks. Now these attacks can be targeted to specific organizations or specific software in use by certain companies or industries - such as real-time or control system SCADA systems targeted by Stuxnet.

Industry experts agree that a dangerous new world has suddenly become even more dangerous. Any type of economic activity that involves software is at risk. For instance, security vendors have noticed a sudden increase in malware attacks targeting retailers, down to the medium and small business level. And of course the largest banks and financial institutions have been targeted for many years. So if a cyber-criminal attack an enterprise or a manufacturing industry or utility, or a specific type of software, the outcome is the same: potentially ruinous damage costing millions. Today malware is perfectly capable of breaching and significantly damaging financial and database reporting software, as well as industrial processes software that may cause a production line to come to a dramatic stop. In every scenario the result is painful whether measured in output, lost revenue or a damaged business reputation.

This usually occurs when an infected laptop is plugged in or an employee uses a compromised portable device such as a flash memory stick. Learn how an anti-malware appliance and device control software can dramatically reduce the disruption of such attacks.

Threat

Powerful, new malware is now targeting industrial operations. Learn how network protection and device control solutions can be an important step in keeping these threats to SCADA systems in check.
