Basic network security products such as anti-virus and access controls are now a requirement for all computer systems. While the desktop and server anti-virus markets are mature, e-mail, HTTP (web), and anti-phishing products are just emerging and are not as well understood. TNS offers value to its customers by introducing these extra layers of protection. TNS also has a focus on SPAM (unwanted e-mail) and Spyware filtering, which are now being coupled with e-mail anti-virus products.
Example manufacturers: Symantec®, RSA®, Barracuda®, St. Bernard®, and Tumbleweed®.
