In the News Malware by Proxy - Fake Search Engine Results

Here's a new article on legitimate websites being infected by malware. This article states that 15,000 web pages were infected daily between January and March of this year (3x the rate from the previous year), and of those pages, 79% were on legitimate websites, including Fortune 500, government agencies and even security vendors!

Once again, with new threats emerging from the web, there's no reason why your organization should go without some sort of web protection. The secure web proxy, is the first line of defense against sites that are infected with malware. Make sure your proxy is checking all web sites, and doesn't rely on some sort of reputation based system. As you can see from the article above, even reputable websites get infected, and a system that bypasses reputable websites will leave your organization vulnerable to malware.
