InterMute Presents 'Spyware and its Impact on Enterprises' with Guest Forrester Research11 March 2005
With the rise of spyware, the Internet has become a source of disruptions to employee productivity and security, especially in enterprises. Traditional anti-virus, firewall and Web content filtering products do not adequately protect PCs and laptops from spyware threats.
Join Senior Analyst David Friedlander, a leading expert on anti-spyware at Forrester Research, and InterMute, a leading developer of best-in-class PC protection and productivity software for corporations and consumers, for a free online Webinar on how organizations can most effectively defend against the evolving threat of spyware. Mr. Friedlander and Ms. Natalie Lambert, also from Forrester, will highlight a variety of anti-spyware tactics, ranging from
developing consistent policies to user-education programs.
During the past year, spyware has been a scourge for businesses. A recent Forrester Research survey found that 65 percent of firms will purchase or upgrade their anti-spyware tools this year, making it the most commonly purchased security technology in 2005. (Antispyware Adoption in 2005, Forrester Research, February 2005).
In this Webinar, both Friedlander and Lambert will:
* highlight how "spyware is about money" -- which is not benefiting enterprises!
* explain why spyware can be difficult to detect
* cite recent Forrester Research surveys of trends in spyware
* offer guidance on defending against spyware in enterprises
