Why Corporate should develop their own Anti-Virus

How many times have you heard — data is the new oil?

It means as the internet companies are scaling up, the importance of data is surfacing rapidly. Data privacy is becoming a concern, and the data breaches of some of the companies in the recent memories have solidified the concern.

Even stall of few hours may cost millions to a company, and in case of a breach, we are talking about days.

Ask yourself — can you manage to shut your operations for days, or if the condition worsens, weeks?

Why Corporate should go for custom Anti-virus

When we look at the espionage movies, they are there to serve two agendas — entertain us and raise a red flag over the importance of data privacy.

They may look far fetched at times, but to be honest, they are not too far away from becoming a solid reality. These events are more or less inspired from real events; and even if the process may look ridiculously complex, they are within the boundaries of possible realms.

Now the question comes — What’s the point of custom Anti-Virus?

In corporate, the nature of data and the people involved may vary from one location to another.

Something as incompetent like a keylogger can reveal secrets involving billions of dollars.

And much more than the data, the reputation is also at stakes.

Competition

It is not unusual that competitions use tactics to slow down the server of their opposition.

Inducing malwares and DDoS attacks are common practices.

Now building an anti-virus is not tough. Although, customizing it according to the need of per client may be a tedious task.

Internet companies have seen the maximum profit due to their scalability nature and it means the obvious — they become easy prey!

They need to take foremost measures to keep their environment safe.
