Stealthy Trojans need the 'door bouncer' treatment on your network.

No, this isn't a blog post on Brad Pitt. 

I'm hopeful you've heard of the mythical story of the Trojan Horse? Where, in 1194 BC, the Trojans built a gigantic wooden horse that was disguised as a gift and left it outside the City of Troy's gates. The people of Troy celebrated the peace offering and took the horse inside its impregnable walls. Little did they know, the horse was full of Trojan's best warriors - and at night, they jumped out; opening the gates to the Trojan army where they plundered and razed the city.

The same ruse is now being used to enter our networks and steal our sensitive data. All it takes is a user to open or download a link sent from a malicious email that is disguised as secure and safe. A study in 2011 showed that a 69.9% of all malware attacks are Trojans.

Once downloaded or opened, the malware infects your network or local computer. Attackers can then steal data such as credit cards, financial information, email accounts, passwords and emails, and even send thousands of emails to clients from your own email with the same link or file, creating a snowball effect that is hard to stop. Whatever is saved or used on your network is at risk.

It's a network's Achilles heel.

Thankfully, whilst Trojans are getting sneakier and craftier as technology gets more complex and advanced, so do the deterrents and prevention we can put in place. These prevention's act the same way as a bouncer at a club; checking ID's and making sure no unwanted visitors get in.

That's what Telanova is; a bouncer. We monitor remotely and seamlessly in the background, allowing you to get on with the important work at hand without having to worry and lose sleep over network security issues. Contact us to find out how we can protect your network's city walls from attacks.
