Our Blog

So here we are, at the start of the New Year.  But before we move forward, let's look back at the events that framed 2009.  It was a year marked with multiple Virus, DOS, Phishing Password-stealing Malware attacks and breaches of security that impacted several companies including Amazon.com, FaceBook, Twitter etc.

• Phishing and password-stealing Malware attacks alone affected approximately 31,173 sites

NSG's premier partner ESET introduced NOD32 primarily for such attacks. Customers benefit from its light footprint, fast scanning engine and advanced detection methods that provide effective malware protection without compromising system performance

To my clients, I stress the importance of sound security practices in addition to an effective malware solution and a secure network infrastructure. Going beyond just infrastructure, it is important to manage behavior that potentially compromises the security of the network.  Let me use my favorite analogy to explain this more clearly: "It is like using a mosquito repellant when hiking in the summer; it's a great first line of defense, but you should also wear pants, long sleeves, etc."

I start this blog by inviting you to share your success stories of 2009.
