Kaspersky Lab Product Performance Validation Testing & Certification Changing Malware Threats in Corporate Networks You can also take a close look at how individual vendors are responding to the changing threat landscape and the implications for the security of corporate networks. Nowadays, vendors are defining ‘Protection’ differently. No longer is it just product performance-related but also related to business and customer service issues, delivering a higher value overall service to meet not just security, but also business needs. When considering product performance in a corporate network environment, ‘Protection’ is more than current malware detection capabilities, it’s also about the extent of a vendor’s product research and development strategy that anticipates threats and trends to ensure proactive network protection. It can be further defined as the extent to which malware protection is delivered for a multi-platform infrastructure through efficient and easily managed solutions with wide interoperability capabilities. ‘Protection’ is also about the extent to which business interests are protected through vendor service strategies that now include optimised and cost-effective security plans tailored to individual corporations’ needs for maximising business productivity, lowering the total cost of ownership and maximising the return on investment. Also, given that corporations are operating in a worldwide ‘e-economy’ all this needs to be supported by trusted and responsive global support plans. Yes, the threat landscape is continuing to evolve with new malware threats spawned at an alarming rate, but no longer is malware protection and information security in general just a technical issue - it is a business issue. That is why vendors’ product and service solutions are evolving to suit these changing needs and West Coast Labs is developing independent product performance programmes that ensure that these products and services are tested and validated accordingly.
