Description
In order to minimize potential negative impact to the organization that can be caused by malicious code, it is imperative that malicious code is identified and eradicated. Malicious code includes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and Spyware. Applications providing this capability must have an ability to address the issue of false alerts. False alerts can overwhelm reporting and administrative interfaces making it difficult to identify the true threat. A filtering capability that serves to identify and remove false positives is often employed to address this issue. This requirement is specific to applications providing malicious code protection. This requirement is NA for databases.
