Spyware

You've heard about SPYWARE, and you have probably been attacked by it as well, but just what is it?

SPYWARE is software created to intentionally spy on everything you do on your PC. This includes which sites you visit on the internet, which sites you frequent, and on some of the nastier SPYWARE programs, you may even have your keystrokes being recorded to steal passwords and account numbers.

In a nutshell, SPYWARE is nasty stuff.

The worst part about SPYWARE is that the writers of SPYWARE programs write them so that they can install themselves onto your PC without you authorizing them to be there. Most times, SPYWARE gets installed without you even realizing that anything has happened.

Constructure Technologies has been dealing with SPYWARE on a business and personal level since these programs started appearing. We are experts at removing spyware, and can introduce many new business stragegies to help prevent SPYWARE from infiltrating your organization.

On average, 50% of any Internet connection is used for browsing. Some of the browsing activity is critical, like research and business application sites and some of it is non-critical, like social networking, gaming and adult content. The other 50% of any Internet connection is used for Internet applications - both critical, like voice over I.P. and database backups; and non-critical, like peer-to-peer, streaming media and music downloads. Network Composer by Cymphonix is the only solution that addresses both browsing and application activity for small and medium-sized organizations. How Should You Control Content? Traditional filters either use URL libraries or dynamic content analysis to determine inappropriate sites. URL libraries only include a small percentage of the Internet and dynamic content analysis engines introduce too much latency. Network Composer uses an optimized balance of URL categorization, keyword scanning and dynamic content analysis to give you full filtering without introducing noticeable latency. Because Network Composer scans deep into the packet payload, it also makes it easy to: Filter SSL encrypted browsing traffic Stop anonymous proxies and other content filtering bypass approaches Prioritize bandwidth by URL or URL category (imagine being able to limit bandwidth for MySpace and YouTube!) What about Applications? Your top bandwidth users aren't using a web browser at all. They're downloading files and streaming media. Network Composer uses layer 7 matching technology to control applications - so even evasive applications can't sneak by. Prioritizes critical applications Limits the impact non-critical applications can have on your overall bandwidth Stops spyware before it enters your network Network Composer also gives you a complete reporting suite to show you top bandwidth users, top Internet users, sites visited, real-time application activity and more!
