Comments from Fujitsu - Webroot Threat Report
February 2016 by Paul McEvatt, Senior Cyber Threat Intelligence Manager in UK and Ireland at Fujitsu
Following the release of Webroot’s Threat Report, please see below comments from Paul McEvatt, Senior Cyber Threat Intelligence Manager, UK & Ireland at Fujitsu.
“The research by Webroot further supports our view that traditional security controls are no longer sufficient in any network, let alone an enterprise environment. Can a business afford to rely on signature based platforms such as antivirus and intrusion detection with the polymorphic nature of these threats?
“Whilst antivirus and IDS still have a place in a modern day business, organisations must take a proactive and intelligence driven approach to security such as proactively monitoring phishing campaigns that evade traditional based mail gateways. This will help businesses get on the front foot and shorten the time to detection.”
