What is anti-virus and anti-malware?
Anti-virus and Anti-malware are software’s used to protect devices from malicious software. These days, a good virus and malware protection platform is as important as the computer itself. For every new service, feature and system, there is someone trying to exploit that to their own benefit. Protecting your data, systems and staff from known attacks is a key part of your overall Information Security and Data Protection
Why do we need anti-virus and anti-malware?
The reality is it is essential – virus or malware infections can cause anything from devices to run slowly, to complete data-loss across an entire system (cryptolocker or ransomware for example). SME cyber security grow in importance very year as cyber criminals become more prevalent and targeting of unprotected SME’s more apparent. To understand the severity for your organisation alone, ask yourself what the impact to your organisation would be if you were to lose access, control and privacy of all your data?
Anti-virus and anti-malware give you peace of mind your data is secure, and if that’s not enough they are ultimately a necessity under GDPR.
