With the growth of the Internet, more companies are moving forward to globalize their businesses. Most of the small to medium scale sized businesses suffer from disruption due to security issues that come in the form of online threats like viruses, trojans, hackers, and worms. Most of these attacks have ended in the businesses losing important information and in some cases, prospective clients.
These cases can be prevented by the use of an easy to implement, easy to maintain and inexpensive application that combines the use of dual scanning engines which enable the PC to be double protected from both the server and client end. CA Anti-Virus provides the ideal solution as it detects threats before they even enter the network and provides security right from the client to the server and vice versa.
