"Identity theft and financial fraud are becoming
epidemic," wrote Avivah Litan, vice president and research director
in Gartner Research, and Ray Wagner, research vice president in the
Gartner Information Security Strategies group, in a 2004 report
entitled "The Growing Threat of Online Attacks on Consumers.
"Although these kinds of crimes have been around for ages, the
Internet has provided criminals with a wide variety of new, online
methods for swindling unsuspecting victims.
"Spyware is among the most destructive
applications that can be introduced to a corporate system," said
Max Tsypliaev, CEO of Acronis. "It can compromise intellectual
property, put corporate databases at risk and opens a company to
significant legal culpability. Having a proactive method of
defeating it before it damages a user's system is a most effective
way of protecting your corporate information."
"Both last year and this year, PC Magazine saw
fit to honor Acronis' consumer version of this product, Acronis
Privacy Expert Suite 7.0 and 8.0, with its Editor's Choice
Awards," said Stephen Lawton, Acronis director of marketing.
"Corporate IT directors have third-party validation that the core
product is solid and can easily fit into an overall corporate
security program."
