Does business need an antivirus program installed on every computer nowadays? Without a doubt, yes. As businesses grow, their digital aspects grow as well: the client base, the number of important documents and files, credit card data, payment info, etc. Nobody wants to lose everything in a single moment due to the computer virus that invades the corporate network. Nowadays, any business has to work online to be successful. This means, every firm, from small local stores and service providers to international corporations, is connected to the global network and vulnerable before external threads.
In addition to standard viruses, worms and Trojans, there are such methods as directed attacks, blockers and ransomware agents, spam senders and phishing attacks. Not all viruses infiltrate the system on their own, human factor works here as well. At the same time, a usual antivirus solution is unable to stop all existing viruses.
