New White Paper -
Stopping Spyware at the Internet Gateway
Spyware is a
form of malicious software that spies on computers
and steals sensitive data. It differs from viruses
and spam, is too often used to refer to adware,
and varies in impact from annoying to economically
damaging. An examination of real-world spyware
attacks gives specificity and concreteness to
the spyware discussion. Such spyware cases highlight
the following best practices:
• Cover both desktop computers and the internet
gateway in a layered defense;
• Cover web, email, and other internet traffic;
and
• Cover the full spectrum of spyware and
other malicious software.
The internet gateway is the ideal place to stop
spyware. If spy programs can be stripped out of
internet traffic at the gateway, before they can
install themselves on desktop computers, then
the threat of spyware may be substantially reduced.
For gateway anti-spyware then, the real-world
attacks suggest three key requirements:
• Real-time scanning performance;
• Comprehensive internet traffic coverage;
and
• Comprehensive spyware and malware coverage.
Deployment of gateway anti-spyware that meets
these requirements with desktop anti-spyware in
a layered defense is the most effective way to
counter today’s spyware threat.
