“It's essential that employees have secure Internet access, particularly as more and more of Paul Smith's suppliers move over to Web-based business applications,” said Eldar Tuvey, co-founder and CEO, ScanSafe. “ScanSafe's proprietary heuristics technology – Outbreak Intelligence, immediately updates our Web classification database with new and existing websites that could pose a security risk to the network.”
