Background
Russ Hedgpeth, CEO of Unity Electronics, also oversees the
company's IT infrastructure. Unity Electronics' headquarters has 25
users on the network going through 2 business class DSL lines. Users
on their network spend a majority of their time browsing price search
engine sites such as Pricegrabber, Froogle, Pricewatch, and Nextag.
On average, employees at Unity Electronics spend two hours a day on
search engine sites, looking up competitive pricing information, which
leaves them vulnerable and exposed to malware and attacks from the
Web. Web use and Web presence is mission critical infrastructure for
any online retailer. Moreover, with customer information and other
sensitive data kept on user computers, it is critical that their workstations
are kept clean and malware free. Although Unity Electronics had
desktop anti-virus programs installed on every PC, their computing
infrastructure was still occasionally getting infected with malware.
