High-risk Process

Security programs implement processes to access the seriousness of a virus or threat. An example of a high-risk process would include a web browser, such as Internet Explorer. This browser contains scripts like Active X that are known for vulnerability. Other activity via a web browser pose threats because of simple tasks such downloading, instant messaging or using an email server. Analyzing a high-risk process allows a user to quickly manage and protect against serious threats. After the most crucial vulnerabilities have been patched, the overall risk picture can be put into perspective. The high-risk process helps a user to take action when and where needed, avoiding the use of unnecessary resources in time of a crisis. This method of threat analysis makes a more effective system, whether for personal or business use. Consolidating high-risk and low-risk processes and other standalone security tools have become a practical way to manage vulnerabilities and configure automated patching and policy systems, all from a fully supported, host-based environment.
