Benefits for Service Providers

  • Dr.Web AV-Desk means a security conscious company image
    The number of Internet threats is huge and hundreds of new viruses emerge every day. Threats become more and more sophisticated and many unexperienced users do not have enough knowledge to protect themselves even with a legal anti-virus software installed on their computers. They become easy targets for malware and hackers, thousands of home PCs get highjacked and turned into zombie machines and parts of botnets, spreading malware all over the Internet. Dr.Web AV-Desk helps SPs get rid of botnets and substantially decrease the overall infection rate of their traffic.

    With Dr.Web AV-Desk your subscribers can truly enjoy virus-free Internet surfing.

  • Dr.Web AV-Desk — your best investments into IT-security of your networks
    In highly competitive markets, customer acquisition is expensive and retention is tough. In order to survive in what has become a near-saturated market, Service Providers need to offer "value added services" to remain competitive. Security services such as anti-virus services can offer one of the highest profit margins to service providers interested in raising their AMPU. It will help not only keep old customers, but to attract new ones.

    Security investments with Dr.Web AV-Desk are much less than costs spent on the damage repair from viruses and increase of technical support services and call-centers stuff.

  • Dr.Web AV-Desk means reduction of external threats
    Service Providers are the first targets of virus attacks. The cost of Service Providers to counteract viruses and malware, to recover after malicious intrusions and to restore lost data can escalate into millions of Euros. Productivity/efficiency lost due to service outages – network and server downtime translates into huge expenditures. The cost of clean-up often exceeds the cost of prevention. Dr.Web AV-Desk will help:
    • reduce downtimes of the equipment caused by ill-intended objects` attacks;
    • considerably increase productivity of the equipment and the personnel due to decrease of number of infections in Service Providers` networks.
    The more clients of a Service Provider are connected to Dr.Web AV-Desk, the less number of infections inhabits its networks.

  • Dr.Web AV-Desk means reduction of support overheads of Service Providers
    Service Providers can be sure they are adopting a sure fire VAS that will not only strengthen their “Average Margin Per User” (AMPU) and general service offering, but will also reduce their support overheads. Up to 70% of computer malfunctions are caused by virus infection in Service Providers’ networks. Users’ security unawareness results in considerable time losses for Service Providers. During any service outage, Service Providers’ Help Desk is the first to feel the pain and Service Providers are the first to blame by customers when their computers don't run properly. Still, Service Providers have to support their customers on malware-related problems where they are not experts. At the same time, the profit margin does not allow Service Providers to increase sufficiently the stuff of call centers with anti-virus experts.

    Adding Dr.Web security solution to a Service Provider`s services portfolio can help to reduce “malware” related support calls whilst generating additional revenue streams.

Benefits for customers of Service Providers
The important point for Service Providers is to ensure that the security solutions they chose to protect their customers offers effective protection for their customer’s PCs, has an intuitive, simple to use user interface, requires minimal setup & configuration, has good value for money.
