Andresen said cybercriminals are using a lot of lures, e.g. fake anti-virus, updates of video, fake video codec, drive-by ads (also known as malvertising), etc. "Cybercriminals follow the users' trend which is from traditional communication Websites to new ones like Facebook...as users migrate to the social network media platform, cybercriminals are also moving over there. Nowadays, 90% legitimate sites have become unwitting hosts. Cybercriminals go where there are a lot of traffic."

COMPREHENSIVE WEB SECURITY

Blue Coat has also released two security software that provide enterprise-class protection just for the SMBs. Particularly, this will enable SMBs in the Philippines, in which at least 50% have fallen victim to cybercrime, to protect their businesses against the latest Web-based threats.

Andresen discussed how their solutions are able to help local SMBs with limited budget and resources combat the latest web-based threats brought about by the increase in social networking at the work place.

This is the first time Blue Coat has released a comprehensive security solution just for SMBs.
