An international distributor of security and information management computer software, biannually issues an Internet Security Threat Report in which threats to online security are analyzed and discussed. In its most recent release, they caution that although the United Arab Emirates, a Middle Eastern federation composed of seven states, has taken significant steps to reduce phishing and spam attacks they remain in dire need of improvement or an effective outbound spam-filtering service. According to the report, Saudi Arabia holds the top position in the Middle East as both the target and the source of organized online crime. It is ranked 32nd globally for malicious internet activity, while the entire UAE occupies the 38th position. Perimetec Solutions offers a hosted Barracuda anti-SPAM email protection service powered by Barracuda Networks to ensure the spam control these regions so desperately need. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia was dubbed worst in all of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, for its propensity to distributing and receiving malware, junk Email and SPAM during the final six months of 2007. Malware is designed to infiltrate a computer without the owner’s consent and according to Perimetec, 771,000 new strains were detected in 2007 accounting for two-thirds of all detected codes. Barracuda Spam Firewalls are designed to shield computers from such destructive programs before messages reach Email servers. Despite its poor standing in international online safety, the UAE has dropped from the 51st worst spamming region to the 91st in June of 2007. Experts agree that many Middle Eastern nations are showing improvement in the issues of web-related security, Anti-SPAM, and anti-Phishing initiatives. Perimetec Solutions, in collaboration with Barracuda Networks, provides corporate networks with the Anti-SPAM filtering, Internet and Email security they need by eliminating phishing attacks, data theft and viruses at affordable prices.
