Why do you need Managed Anti-Virus Service from ProtectPoint?
  • It is difficult to estimate the damage that a virus will cause your company, but the average incident costs over $280,000 according to the 2002 FBI Crime and Security survey.
  • A single virus infection incident will have significant hard costs for your company. For example: the time required to reformat servers and workstations and install new operating systems and the reloading of applications as well as employee downtime during eradication. There are also substantial costs to your corporate image if you allow the spread of a virus to other partners, clients, off site users, etc.
  • We are certified security experts and we take the time to keep up to the minute on all of the latest developments in virus eradication research and newly released viruses. You should be focusing on your business, not on updating a new virus signature at 4:00am! That's our job!
  • A number of viruses install backdoors to your computer system so that the hacker can capture your passwords as you type them, or view the entire contents of your hard drive. Imagine having a hacker having access to your bank accounts, corporate confidential documents or gathering all of the information needed to be able to impersonate you! This type of crime is on the rise, don't be a victim!
  • The speed that the newest viruses can spread via the Internet is dramatic. Some Microsoft Outlook viruses can infect every employee in your company and every person in your contact list in just a few seconds. You can't stay up every night and work weekends to watch for and prevent the latest virus attack. We do!
  • You are vulnerable to application and operating system exploits if you don't patch your servers and workstations almost weekly. You don't have the time to test and install patches every time one is released. You should have a layer of defense ahead of your servers that is updated several times a day so it is protecting you from the latest threats. ProtectPoint can safeguard your critical IT assets!
