80 Percent of SMBs Fear a Threat but Business Management Priorities Prohibits ProactivityLONDON and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE) and MessageLabs today announced global research that reveals the majority of small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) believe an IT security breach would be detrimental in achieving their business priorities. However, few are overtly proactive in their fight against infringements due to resource restrictions from other business related priorities.
The latest industry research, "SMBs in a Connected World: Business Success Means Facing New IT Security Threats," conducted by research firm IDC and commissioned by MessageLabs and McAfee®, found that 80 percent of the 450 SMB IT decision makers interviewed feared an IT security threat such as an email virus. However, as senior SMB IT professionals are more entrenched in the company's day-to-day business than enterprise CIOs, they are less able to take on a proactive approach to security threats.
The IDC research indicates that company size plays an important role in the way senior management views security. Firmly linking IT security to the business health and success of the SMB community, the research shows that only eight percent of respondents stated that improving IT security was a top business priority. Furthermore, enterprise CIOs place IT security at a much higher level of importance than SMB IT professionals. IDC raises the question: "How can SMBs face present and future threats while being occupied by daily tasks?"
Despite a clear understanding of the threat situation and its potential effect on the well-being of the company, the biggest challenge SMBs face in 2007 are reactive, maintenance-focused activities such as keeping up-to-date with security solutions (39 percent), keeping up-to-date with new threats (38 percent) and keeping costs down (33 percent). SMBs are more focused on keeping the business operating rather than strategically planning for future threats. IDC states that managed security services provide an effective and responsive answer to the dilemma in the SMB community, one of its top 10 predictions for the IT security market in 2007.
"Small- and medium-sized business behavior towards security is very tactical and meets their immediate requirements," said Eric Domage, European research manager, Security Products & Solutions, IDC. "However, the next generation of threats are not understood, not analyzed and the complexity cannot be handled internally. Remotely managed security solutions will help SMBs fill the gap between their understanding of the threat and the real dangers. SMBs must consider managed security service providers as natural partners for an accurate level of security."
Staying Connected in a Connected WorldThe IDC research also highlights the importance of the connected world for SMBs as it reveals that SMBs are increasingly reliant on the Web for company communications, operational effectiveness and reaching their business objectives. Ninety percent of respondents actively or semi-actively use the Internet to further their business goals and achieve business priorities. Eighty-seven percent use email as a key communication tool. In addition, at least 40 percent of the SMB working day is spent accessing email and the Web.
"Security has a direct impact on every critical part of a business including reputation, productivity and business continuity," said Mark Sunner, chief security analyst, MessageLabs. "Although it appears SMBs now have a better understanding of the risks, it still appears that many are unable to prioritize or dedicate the resources to deal with security appropriately. Without a comprehensive security solution, many SMBs may be oblivious to the fact that they're being attacked, with the realization only obvious once the damage has been done."
"The Internet has provided a convenience to SMBs to do business, but has also opened the door for complex threats," said Vimal Solanki, senior director of worldwide product marketing for McAfee. "Businesses need security tools that proactively protect their computers and gives them piece of mind. Outsourcing daily security tasks can save time and money and allow SMBs to focus on their core businesses."
Another critical reason why SMBs need to raise priority levels on security is because of the legal requirements for information management. More than half of all respondents (53 percent) stated that compliance with external, legally binding regulations or rules defined by the government or another authority is mandatory. The highest proportion is in Germany, where 62 percent of respondents must adhere to these stipulations. Almost a quarter of UK respondents (24 percent) did not know if they were required to comply or not.
Secure Spending TrendsWhile it's not a top business priority, SMB professionals predict strong growth in IT security spending over the next 12 months with more than 90 percent stating that they will spend more resources on IT security in 2007, a 20 percent increase from 2006 figures. The same IT professionals state that their total IT expenditure will increase by almost 30 percent next year, which leads IDC to question if IT security is being taken seriously enough as part of the IT mix.
Other Regional Statistics:

    * SMBs in all countries believe that increasing profit is the first priority, though the positioning for improving IT security is ever changing. In the United States it ranks second, the UK ranks fifth, Germany ranks it fourth, and Australia is seventh.
    * In all countries aside from the UK, the larger SMBs (130-250 employees) rate improving IT security as more important than their smaller counterparts (80-120 employees).
    * Sixty-two percent of respondents strongly agreed that they use email and the Web to conduct its business, with the highest being in Australia (68 percent).
    * Currently, less than one-third of all respondents outsource all or part of their IT infrastructure or operations to a third party IT services company. Australia leads the way in the managed services approach with 39 percent of respondents stating that they outsource all or part of their IT infrastructure or operations, closely followed by the UK with 35 percent. The United States is the lowest with 23 percent although 78 percent of those respondents claim to outsource all.
    * Eighteen percent of respondents admitted that that they had had an IT security breach in their company. Australia was the lowest with 16 percent, and the highest was in Germany with 21 percent.

Research Overview:These findings are based on the results of 450 interviews with SMBs of 80-250 employees, across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia. The interviews were undertaken in November 2006 and all respondents were responsible for, or actively involved in, the IT decision-making process for their organizations.
Vertical industries included professional services, business services, manufacturing, financial services, banking, media and marketing.

Intense Security Competition Challenges Students to Build and Defend Computer NetworksSANTA CLARA, Calif., March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ McAfee Inc. (NYSE: MFE) and the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) today announced its third annual computer security competition titled, "Build and Defend Your Digital Fortress." The event, which will take place Thursday, March 15 and Friday, March 16, was designed by McAfee® engineers and RIT networking, security and systems administration professors to expose RIT computing students to real-world types of computer security threats.
Security and system administrators at any given corporation thwart computer breaches and security threats on a daily basis. They are the ones responsible for building and defending corporations' computer networks and systems against both internal and external attacks. An infiltration by a computer hacker can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost time and information.
According to data from McAfee Avert Labs, there are more than 232,000 known threats and thousands more that are yet to be identified. McAfee researchers discover on average approximately 100-200 new variants of threats daily. Given current trends, McAfee expects the 300,000th threat to be identified by the end of 2007, demonstrating the ongoing growth potential of malicious code threats.
"Today's network, system and security administrators are faced with many challenges ranging from limited resources to unreasonable business demands to determined attackers," says Daryl Johnson, professor of networking, security and systems administration at RIT. "A company's information infrastructure is limited by its budgeted resources and the vulnerability of providing services on the Internet. Those challenges are significant but can pale in comparison to the stress of fending off resolute attackers. This competition is designed to include as many of the choices and challenges that a network, system or security administrator might face in defending their corporate information infrastructure."
In the first phase of the competition, students will be given a list of customer requirements much as would be present for corporation. For example, the students will be required to put various services on their networks such as e-mail and web servers. The students will have approximately 14 hours on Thursday, March 15 to design and implement their networks.
The second portion of the contest on the morning of Friday, March 16 will be the attack and defend portion in which the McAfee engineers will unleash a set of internal and external attacks against the students' networks.
The students will be scored throughout the various phases of the competition. Students will receive points if they are able to keep their networks running throughout the attacks, as well as if they are able to determine vulnerabilities and remediate potential security breaches on their own.
In the final phase of the competition, the students will perform a forensic analysis to assess damage to their systems, and a winning team will be determined.
Jason Koppe, a third-year applied networking and systems administration major in RIT's B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences participated in the security contest last year and will compete again this year.
"The competition gave us the opportunity to implement incredible cutting edge technology that helps defend networks from malicious attacks," says Koppe. "We gained an incredible amount of knowledge by participating in the build, defend, and analyze portions. We also learned a great deal directly from the McAfee engineers. These security experts taught us many cool concepts. The competition was truly invaluable because the best preparation for real-life situations is the practice of solving a business-critical problem in the heat of the moment."
Ten teams, comprised primarily of applied networking and systems administration students, will participate. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams.
"In today's threat landscape, we're seeing evidence of the rise of professional and organized crime in malware creation, along with the use of sophisticated techniques that can disguise their malicious purpose on a more rapid and complex scale," said George Heron, chief scientist for McAfee. "The McAfee Day event will offer students the opportunity to learn more about real-life security events, including the types of threats we see in the industry, the motivating drivers behind malware writers and how skill levels used in today's threat landscape have evolved."
MEDIA NOTE: The computer security competition will be held in Building 70, Rm. 2320. The attack and defend portion of the competition will be from 9 a.m. to noon Friday, March 16. The awards ceremony will be held at 3:30 p.m. on Friday in the Golisano College auditorium.
About RITRochester Institute of Technology is internationally recognized for academic leadership in computing, engineering, imaging technology, and fine and applied arts, in addition to unparalleled support services for students with hearing loss. More than 15,500 full- and part-time students are enrolled in RIT's 340 career-oriented and professional programs, and its cooperative education program is one of the oldest and largest in the nation.

'Mapping the Mal Web' Report Estimates Half a Billion Unsafe Clicks Made Every Month Globally; Risk Varies Significantly by CountrySANTA CLARA, Calif., March 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/  McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE) today announced the results of a McAfee® SiteAdvisorTM  research report that creates a global road map of the riskiest, and the safest, places to surf and search on the World Wide Web. McAfee analyzed and ranked 265 top-level domains like Japan (.jp), France (.fr) and Commercial (.com) based on McAfee's Web safety tests for spyware, spam, exploits and scams. The report, "Mapping the Mal Web," revealed surprisingly large differences in safety from one domain to another. This global portrait estimates that each month, Internet users make more than 550 million clicks to risky Web sites and that even relatively safe domains like Germany (.de) or the United Kingdom (.uk) account for millions of risky clicks.
"With this report, McAfee has created a guide book to the Web's most dangerous top level domains," said Mark Maxwell, Senior Product Manager, McAfee Consumer and Small Business. "When it comes to safety, it turns out that the Web is no different than the physical world. There are safe neighborhoods and safe Web domains, and then there are places no one should ever visit."
McAfee SiteAdvisor, a free tool available at http://www.mcafee.com, adds intuitive red, yellow, or green ratings to sites and search results based on proprietary tests of millions of Web sites representing more than 95% of the trafficked Web. Red ratings are given to risky sites that fail one or more of McAfee's tests for adware, spyware, viruses, exploits, spammy e-mail, excessive pop-ups or strong affiliations with other red-rated sites. Green- rated sites passed each of these tests. Yellow ratings are given to sites which pass McAfee's safety tests but which still have nuisances, such as excessive pop-ups, warranting a user advisory. Businesses and consumers may use McAfee SiteAdvisor to complement their existing McAfee products or to enhance security products made by other manufacturers.
Among the key findings of the study are:

    * The incidence of red and yellow sites varies dramatically across top- level domains, ranging from a low of 0.1% for Finland (.fi) to a high of 10.1% for the tiny island of Tokelau (.tk). Overall, 4.1% of all sites tested by SiteAdvisor are rated red or yellow.
    * Some Web activities, like registering at a site or downloading a file, are significantly more risky when done at certain domains. For example, giving an e-mail address to a random .info domain results in a stunning 73.2% chance of receiving spammy e-mail.
    * The most risky large country domains are Romania (.ro, 5.6% risky sites) and Russia (.ru, 4.5% risky sites). These country domains are also the most likely to host exploit or "drive-by-download" sites.
    * .info is the riskiest generic domain, with 7.5% of its sites rated as risky. .com is the second most risky generic domain, with 5.5% of sites rated as risky.
    * Three of the five least risky country domains are Nordic countries -- Finland (0.10%), Norway (.no, 0.16%) and Sweden (.se, 0.21%). Iceland (.is, 0.19%) and Ireland (.ie, 0.11%) round out the top five least risky country domains.
    * .gov is the only frequently tested domain for which SiteAdvisor has found no risky sites. .gov is only available to United States government agencies.
    * Even though the .com domain is only the 5th most risky domain by rank, its huge popularity magnifies its impact on search and browsing risk dramatically. 86.6% of clicks to red and yellow rated sites go to .com sites.
    * Even though the Netherlands (.nl), Germany (.de) and the United Kingdom (.uk) are all relatively safe country domains, ranking 31st, 33rd and 51st most risky respectively, each of their country domains account for more than 2 million clicks to red and yellow sites every month. Likewise Japan (.jp) is ranked 57th most risky and yet red and yellow rated .jp sites receive an estimated 1.6 million clicks each month.

Low or no cost domain registration and minimal domain oversight appear to drive at least some of the higher levels of risk found at some top-level domains. For example, one reason the .biz domain may be preferred by spammers is because .biz domains are available for immediate use, rather than after a typical 24 hour waiting period - a critical advantage in beating anti-spam services and blacklists.
"For administrators of top-level domains, this study should serve as a wake-up call. Clearly, some countries are getting it right. And the more risky top level domains now have the role models they need to improve," added Maxwell. "For consumers, this study is a stark reminder that they need help navigating the Web safely. Tools like McAfee SiteAdvisor give consumers the information they need, when they need it, to make safer Web decisions."

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE) today announced the achievement of a significant new milestone: McAfee® SiteAdvisorTM, the world's first safe search and surf technology, has already been downloaded more than 38 million times by Internet users.
"Put into perspective, McAfee SiteAdvisor delivers Web site safety ratings 320 million times every single day, educating consumers about which sites are safe and which ones might compromise their Internet experience," said Tim Dowling, VP, Consumer Growth Initiatives, McAfee. "By any measure, McAfee SiteAdvisor has enjoyed very strong adoption since its launch last year and has demonstrated the urgent market need for this technology."
McAfee SiteAdvisor is a FREE Web safety tool which adds ratings to Web sites and search results as users search, browse, and transact online. It tests and rates, on an ongoing basis, nearly every trafficked site on the Internet for a wide variety of Web safety issues, providing advance warning of dangerous and risky Web sites. McAfee SiteAdvisor works with Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox to mark search results from most search engines with a safety rating for each Web site preventing users from going to harmful websites. SiteAdvisor is a great complement for businesses and consumers to use with their existing McAfee products or to enhance security products made by other manufacturers. McAfee SiteAdvisor is a 30-second download and is available at http://us.mcafee.com
McAfee SiteAdvisor uses advanced technology to conduct automated Web site tests for spyware, adware, exploits, excessive pop-ups and spam. It also integrates feedback from individual users and analysis by SiteAdvisor staff to enhance SiteAdvisor's automated testing and to reveal potential online scams.
For example, one of SiteAdvisor's testers reported "official-green- card.org" as a misleading Green Card site to SiteAdvisor staff. This site charged users to enter them in a U.S. green card lottery - a free program run by the U.S. State Department (dvlottery.state.gov). Eventually, more than ten sites that engaged in similar practices were identified. Another typical scam involves Web sites that try to sell consumers free software such as Internet Explorer, Opera, or Netscape.
More recently, fake YouTube video players that linked to a site named yootube.info began appearing on MySpace pages. Clicking on the player exposed consumers to unwanted adware. Within hours of yootube.info's appearance, SiteAdvisor users had flagged the site as a scam. McAfee staff investigated, confirmed the scam, and rated the site red for "risky."
"We are equally excited that the Internet community has embraced McAfee SiteAdvisor and evangelized its benefits, contributing to its rapid success," added Dowling. "SiteAdvisor's proactive protection helps consumers stay safe as they search, surf and transact online, and we are happy to offer it free of charge."
