Mr. Sanjay Katkar, CTO, Quick Heal Technologies, says: “2014 has been an eventful year for Quick Heal and for the IT security world in general. While attackers are continually devising new methods to infiltrate systems and devices, security companies have to be more proactive and alert than ever. The threat landscape has drastically changed over the last few years and this makes our job harder and highlights the importance that users and enterprises must pay to channels such as social media, web-based services, cloud portals and more. All bits of data can be monetized today, but we firmly intend to keep our users secure over the varied devices and portals that they regularly use.” |
