In today’s environment, it is particularly important for organizations to have a corporate anti-virus/anti-malware policy. These will help prevent infections caused by many types of malware including worms, Trojan horses, rootkits, spyware, key loggers, ransomware and adware. Global Edge recommends a two-pronged approach using both an anti-virus program and an anti-malware program. These two terms are often used interchangeably and although they sometimes overlap, each will offer better protection in different areas. Whether your business is located in Calgary, Alberta or anywhere in Western Canada, Global Edge can help you protect against these increasing cyber-security threats.
