NetSafa® Policy Control - Threat

Products | Policy Control | Threats | Applications:

More often than not, applications are run in every computer, such as Microsoft Words, Excel, Access etc. Not only these applications, but also many more applications in .exe (dot exe) files are run at the same time.

Downloaded items from the Internet like games are in .exe and CD contents are also in .exe. Exe is short for execute, or performing a specific function. These files are potentially dangerous, especially since we have no clue on the origin of it, which might be infected with viruses or worms or Trojan horses. On top of that, the threat of pirated CDs is still huge, and there are tendencies that many companies are purchasing these pirated CDs like Microsoft Office etc in order to save operation costs. These CDs are a huge risk.

Imagine this scenario:

An employee/student brings his CD game to work/school. Unfortunately, the CD game contains viruses not known to him. He installs it and starts playing. Suddently, a virus warning appears on the company/school network and before any actions can be taken, the virus has spread to all the computers in the network, including yours!!

As a business owner/CEO/school principal, are you aware of the threat of piracy?! What can you do to enfore a policy so that each and everyone of your employees/students realise the same thing as you do?!
