TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Antivirus provider Symantec said 53 percent of websites in 2014 across the world are infected by virus and malware. Ironically, companies and agencies are not aware that their websites are infected.
"This is due to the low company’s knowledge on protection and data backup," said Raymond Goh, senior regional director of systems engineering at Symantec yesterday.
The low awareness happens in small, medium and even large companies. This is caused by the belief that using security software is expensive. "Expensive or cheap is relative. The most important thing is awareness towards data security," Goh said.
Companies also still regard data protection as a complicated process which is why Goh suggested that protection should at least start from a simple system such as using software gradually.
The procedure can also be used by small-scale companies with small amount of data. He claimed that software from various levels protection provides even security.
Symantec itself presents protection system for individual consumer. There is also an app named Mobile Security that can be used in Android and iOS devices.
