WEB SECURITY & DATA LOSS PREVENTION WITH BORDERWARE SECURITY PLATFORM

The business benefits of using Web 2.0 technologies with customers, partners and employees are extensive, but so too are the risks and threats. The introduction of Web 2.0 has opened the flood-gates to new vulnerabilities, malicious code, compromised networks, phishing attacks, spyware, inappropriate content, and data leakage. Web 2.0 is interactive and collaborative, and is now the primary infection point for malware or malicious code, and increasing in volume by 40% annually.
