Traditional security solutions are losing the battle against malware. It’s like a zombie survival horror flick in which the survivors have secured the front door to the building, but the ravening hordes are clambering in through the windows, roof and the door to the parking garage.
“We are seeing about 150,000 new pieces of malware every day now,” says Simon Hunt, vice president and CTO of Endpoint Solutions at security vendor McAfee. “The attack is just impossible & we’re purely on the defensive. Before we know about any new virus, somebody has to be a sacrificial lamb and die and tell us about it. It’s an awful way of doing things.”
