Award-winning Enterprise Antispyware.

 

Windows IT Pro Magazine Readers' Choice now for two years in a row! CounterSpy Enterprise clearly is the System Admins' Favorite.

You can't afford to have a false sense of security. Network-wide spyware management requires an enterprise-grade specialized product, not some antispyware 'add-on' that was added as an afterthought by your antivirus vendor.

CounterSpy Enterprise's state-of-the-art scanning engine uses threat signatures from multiple sources to hunt down a broad range of spyware, adware, and other malicious programs.

Does your AV software protect you against keyloggers, backdoor Trojans, adware, and spyware? It should!

Windows IT Pro's Reader's Choice and Editor's Choice Winner. Network Computing's May 1, 2006 prestigious Well-Connected Awards Winner, and Editor's Choice! (PDF). In the Jan 2006 issue, SC Magazine gave it 4 stars, with "Excellent management, good detection, an excellent package for enterprises".

In a recent survey you told us that for 2006, spyware is again expected to be the greatest security threat to your networks. The issues you see as the biggest problems are:

  • loss of company confidential data and intellectual property,
  • loss of employee productivity, and
  • loss of network bandwidth

 

World-class Antispyware

Spyware is worse and a more insidious problem than viruses. You need world-class centralized antispyware management as an essential element of your layered security posture because:

  • Despite their claims, existing AV companies' "spyware modules" don't cut it. Their code was not built to fight spyware and it shows!
  • Using a substandard product causes a false sense of security
  • Most antispyware out there is not really enterprise-ready

To help you fight spyware, we built a true second generation enterprise-ready product from the ground up that gets you everything you need, but we also added something unique: CounterSpy has the best spyware database in the industry. CounterSpy's state of the art scanning engine uses threat signatures from multiple sources to hunt down a broad range of spyware, adware, and other malware.

 

"Install-and-move-on"

Your existing AV product might claim they now have an antispyware module. It might even get somewhat close to the quality of stand-alone tools. But these large products have a steep learning curve, take a lot of time to install, and then take a lot of time to manage once you have them deployed. CounterSpy Enterprise is fast to set up, low-maintenance, so it's "install and move on" with the security you have the best antispyware database in the industry!

As an enterprise administrator you need information about the activities of antispyware software on your networks. You need real-time protection. You must have a mechanism for notification when threats are detected or actions are taken. You must have a comprehensive reporting system that will make it easy to provide documentation for your own use and for keeping management informed and justifying budget expenditures.
