More than half of the companies do not control programs used by the employees

Most companies do not pay enough attention to what programs and devices are used within their corporate networks.

This is the conclusion reached by experts "Kaspersky Lab" and independent of B2B International in a joint study conducted in late 2012. According to the analysis revealed that 57% of companies do not use special means of control programs, and 56% do not follow the connection of external devices.

Meanwhile, cyber criminals use a variety of tricks to infect systems. For example, malware can be integrated into the popular program, and any employee of the company that runs it in a corporate environment, jeopardize the entire IT-infrastructure company. To prevent such accidents should apply special IT-security policies that control the installation and execution of programs in a corporate network. But, as shown by a joint study B2B International and "Kaspersky Lab", 17% of companies either do not know about the technologies for monitoring the use of the programs, or are not interested in using them.
