Jupiter Information Technology Releases Security Software for Home and Business

Many computer users are at risk from malicious software, such as viruses. The new software, Fortifie, makes it harder for malicious software to infect a computer from a web site without the users knowledge and is available in two versions - Personal Edition for home users, and Professional Edition for business users.

(PRWEB) May 1, 2005 -- With the increased business use of the internet, Fortifie will help to protect business computer systems from many internet threats and can help to enforce existing computer usage policies by making it easy to setup a companies computers in the same way. Once Fortifie has been used on a computer, then the security settings cannot be casually adjusted - they can only be changed by a system administrator. This gives businesses increased confidence in the integrity of their computer systems.

This will reduce unscheduled downtime, due to malicious software infections, and so reduce costs. A single virus infection on a business computer system can cost thousands to rectify and in some cases can affect productivity for the entire organisation. For example, a business with 20 computers, 50 employees, and a turnover of 2,000,000, can expect to lose 17,300 per incident! Even a very small business with 5 employees and a turnover of 500,000 can expect to lose 4000 to a virus infection. These figures suggest that no business can afford to be complacent about internet use.

Jupiter Information Technology is based in Swansea, South Wales, UK, and as well as producing software, provides a broad range of IT services, including virus troubleshooting, technical support and training.
