 Tip of the Month—Protecting HTTP Traffic from Today's 
            Blended Threats
 Today's blended threats—like Code Red, Nimda, 
            Klez, and Bugbear—combine different forms of attack on corporate 
            systems. In addition to spreading via email, they also make use of 
            network vulnerabilities, which allow them to spread via the HTTP 
            protocol. It is essential in today's environment to have HTTP 
            protection in place. One of the most efficient ways of doing this is 
            by installing an integrated hardware and software solution, such as 
            a McAfee WebShield® appliance. This appliance sits behind your 
            firewall, intercepting traffic as it enters and leaves your 
            organization. With a solution like this in place, viruses and 
            malicious code will get identified, and stopped, before they get the 
            chance to infiltrate your network and start costing millions of 
            dollars in clean up costs. Additionally, since McAfee WebShield 
            appliances scan SMTP, POP3, HTTP, and FTP traffic, you get multiple 
            protocols protection, all in the one device. Read more about the 
            WebShield appliance product range, here.

 Learn How to Protect Your Enterprise with One of Our 
            Free Seminars
 The longer a virus remains unchecked within 
            your enterprise, the more it will cost to eradicate it. Left 
            unchecked, viruses can take your company down, costing you 
            thousands—if 
            not millions—of dollars in lost productivity and missed 
            opportunities. By attending a regional seminar, you can help arm 
            yourself against the business complications that result from a virus 
            infection. Learn
