Windows JPEG Vulnerability Protection

Secure Computing's Sidewinder G2 Security Appliance customers that have activated the Sidewinder's embedded anti-virus module have protection from an expected wave of malicious worms exploiting the recently announced Windows JPEG vulnerability - before the worms can reach unprotected desktops. The proliferation of application-level attacks and other security threats is a major driver of the emerging market for Unified Threat Management (UTM) security appliances. A new report by analyst firm IDC named Secure Computing as one of three leaders with a 21.7 percent share in the new UTM security appliance market, which is expected to grow to $2 billion by 2008.
