Websites: The New Malware Delivery System

The landscape of online attacks has shifted dramatically.

  • Users can now be infected with viruses just by visiting websites, passively viewing online ads, or clicking links.
  • Cybercriminals increasingly hijack unsuspecting websites to propagate malware.
  • Web pages have replaced e-mail as the pervasive malware distribution platform.

The interconnectedness of websites makes them more vulnerable to malware - i.e., malicious code including viruses, worms, trojan horses, and spyware - and malvertising, or malicious online advertising.

The threat to your online business is real and immediate, and the impact can be devastating.


Effective Web-Based Anti-Malware Protection

The fundamental shift in malware distribution demands a new approach to protecting websites from malware. Today's anti-malware solutions must:

  • Be nimble and smart enough to keep pace with the rate of change and ferocity of web-based malware.
  • Operate at the scale of the web itself.
  • Become increasingly intelligent over time.
