Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam

With the many benefits and advantages of broadband and increasing the access to the Internet, also come new unwanted dangers in the form of viruses and email spam.

It is estimated that more than 70,000 viruses are currently in existence and the number and sophistication of these is growing constantly.

The introduction of a virus onto your system could not only result in hundreds of lost hours, but may also cause valuable work to be lost. It is estimated that over £2.1 billion was lost last year by British companies as a consequence of viruses and over 2.2 million working days. On average, last year each organisation lost £843 and 7.2 hours due to virus related problems.

More than ever, it is vitally important that security is in place as soon as possible, in order to identify and remove viruses and prevent them from causing harm to your systems.

Managing and updating anti-virus software can be both costly and cumbersome for many organisations. In some organisations, the anti-virus software-based tools and utilities to protect systems are already in place, but they may not be active or set up in the correct way. However, many organisations simply do not have the up to date software that is necessary to protect their ICT infrastructure.

Our consultants will evaluate your security needs and take the appropriate action to ensure that your systems are made safe and stay safe. We can also take responsibility for managing your security, leaving your staff free to concentrate on other work.
