It’s web threats time

A new infected web page is discovered every 4.5 seconds… It’s not me who says this, but leading antivirus vendor Sophos in its annual security report. Every January all the anti-malware vendors publish their statistics, and all agree on one thing: threats are targeting web applications.

You’ll find an interesting discussion of the problem on this blog.

There’s good news, though, as well as bad news. The bad news: with businesses moving more and more of their applications — even the most critical — onto the web, following the Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing trends, the web is going to remain the No. 1 focus for malware developpers for the next few years. The good news: the Virtual Browser solution is more than ever the perfect response, protecting users and the enterprise against web-based attacks. Stress-free internet!
