Malware Reality : A Predator with Teeth and Claws

"Just because the tiger hasn't bitten you doesn't mean it won't. And when it does it'll hurt."

On conventional business IT systems, by the time you detect signs of a breach it's almost certainly too late to prevent major operational flow disruption and big costs.

Preventing and limiting business operational flow disruption is what really matters. Because the cost of prevention is far less than the cost of recovery.

A US IT security company has found that only around 10% of business IT breaches get publicly reported, so the risk is much greater than generally assumed and the safety margins much smaller.

It's also still very much the case that "one wrong click and you're gone".

Thus there's an urgent need to identify and eliminate the safety gaps.

Gaps those selling 'security' subscriptions have little incentive to eliminate.

But we've done so very effectively. Our full solution involves MDFS and DF plus a range of techniques and adjustments.

Read on to learn how you can keep your business operational in spite of malware outbreaks.

Business Benefits of MDFS
  1. Enabling you to concentrate on moving your business forward by greatly improving its IT resilience.
  2. Enabling you to maintain your business's operational flow in spite of malware by also adopting our Desktop Fallback scheme.
  3. Being much more effective than insurance.
  4. Being safer and more reliable and more economical than using 'The Cloud'.
  5. Providing simple administration of users and shares using a web browser.
  6. Having unlimited users and not having Client Access Licences.
  7. Having long-term viability via being based on mainstream technology.
Technical Benefits of MDFS
  1. Being an MS-Windows compatible File Sharer that is naturally immune to Windows malware. Because it doesn't use Windows itself.
  2. Enabling you to maintain your business's operational flow in spite of malware by also adopting our Desktop Fallback scheme.
  3. Not relying on anti-virus software or so-called 'AI'.
  4. Having straightforward Windows Domain integration, where needed. But we recommend avoiding doing so if at all possible so that MDFS remains fully usable when your Domain Controllers get taken down..
  5. Having secure backup options : Overview and Options.
  6. Having its own robustness greatly enhanced by the very powerful SELinux security mechanism which, amongst its many capabilities, can defeat unknown exploits.
  7. Having automated monitoring, reporting, and alerting.
  8. Having a dedicated remote support channel (VPN) that uses quadruply-secured (4FA) access.
  9. Being provided as a Virtual Machine that runs an Enterprise Linux.
  • All local DHCP and DNS servers should be run by non-Windows machines, for the same reason as not joining a domain.
  • Remote support is required to be done from non-Windows machines.
  • See also our Graduated Benefits document.
  • Improve resilience further by having Warm Spare VMs.
Test Drive

We can provide a free MDFS Test Drive for potential business clients. English-speaking ones initially.

Each Test Drive starts with a fresh MDFS VM running on our server. You'll need to install a Wireguard VPN client on your workstation and configure it to connect to the VM. We provide configuration details.

To make efficient use of resources we respond to what we consider to be credible requests from businesses. So if a Test Drive interests your business please make a request containing some details of your IT situation.

$Millions At Risk

Implementing our full solution will save some adoptees millions of dollars, and in some cases save the business itself. Because copious evidence [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] supports the assertion that for business users of MS-Windows the question is when, not if, a major malware invasion will occur.

Scepticism

You're sceptical that MDFS (in particular) can do what nobody else seems able to do reliably.

Well, MDFS is non-Windows so we don't have to contend with the 'Windows high background-noise level'. Giving us an excellent Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) when looking for signs of workstation malware 'playing with' the shared files.

Its own robustness in greatly enhanced both by being naturally immune to Windows malware and by SELinux. Note that MS-Windows doesn't have any mechanism that's even close to SELinux's capabilities.
