Malware Attacks Have Become Easier Than Ever

Malware attacks have been made easier than ever with crimeware kits that attackers can download from websites for just a few grand. They are automated so even the less skilled criminals can launch thousands of attacks on enterprise infrastructure every day.

To take one way for example, a lot of antivirus technologies have difficulty detecting packed malware because it changes the way the malware architecture is presented within the package.

Malware is a powerful threat and has no defense mechanism to neutralize it. A layered, integrated approach is the most effective and more likely to be able to stand up to future malware.
