What is the difference between
anti-virus and anti-malware?
An advanced anti-virus and anti-malware solution for your business.
Anti-virus focuses on prevention, protecting a machine by stopping it from becoming infected in the first place. Anti-malware, however, is geared towards rooting out and destroying malicious programs that have already been downloaded and activated. While there is a lot of crossover between the two tools, many security experts advise using both antivirus and anti-malware tools together in order to maximise protection.
How can ITAF help you with implementing the anti-virus and anti-malware software?
Whether it is about the general purpose protection for your end-points or on the other hand more specialized layer of defence specifically designed to fight the ransomware (link to ransomware blog post page) and Trojans, ITAF will provide you a first class service and consultancy (link to contact form) in guarding your devices/operating systems from exploits and viruses. This for end-points and for servers.

Server Security Patching
What does server security patching include?
The server security patching service includes the activities related to the monitoring and implementation of security updates on the server systems of a customer. The server operating systems and third party software is being patched on a permanent basis.
• For Windows, automated security patching runs on a weekly basis to install all official security related updates published by Microsoft. This service delivers updates for Microsoft operating systems and other Microsoft software products for which Microsoft provides a security update service.
• Any other software is excluded from the automated security patching service.
How can ITAF manage server security patching and permanent patching of the vulnerabilities of your servers.
When ITAF is signalled by its server security patching monitoring systems that an update has failed or did not run, a staff member creates a pro-active incident ticket based on which the customer will be informed about the alert. This triggers an investigation to identify the root cause of the security update failure and any corrective actions that may be required to result in successful security updates. Corrective actions are tracked in a change request ticket.
