More than 360 companies in Argentina this year were alerted about potential irregular situations in the use and management of their software.
There are still several hundred companies based in the country that are being analyzed for illegal use of a set of programs and routines to compute certain tasks and activities.
Rodger Correa, director Marketing & amp; It compliance for the Americas of BSA The Software Alliance said that more than 1,300 processes were reported for illegal use of software at the end of this year.
According to the latest measurement BSA and International Data Corporation (IDC) 69 percent of the software installed in Argentina during the last year was not licensed, compared to 43 percent globally.
We also found that the main reason for not using unlicensed software is to prevent security threats due to malware (virus).
Among the risks associated with unlicensed software, 64% of users worldwide unauthorized quoted by hackers as a major concern, and 59% cited loss of data access.
The company said it will increase its activities in Argentina in 2016 seeking to “promote a culture of legality and with the companies sharing the benefits of legal software through its various programs.”
This company is the leading advocate for the software industry in the world with governments and the international market.
For the next year, BSA develop a network of partners in the public and private sectors to promote a culture of legality, emphasizing the opportunities of legal software for companies and each of the countries where operate.
“BSA has a number of tools many free voluntary and confidential that are designed to support businesses, large, small and medium to identify and correct any irregular situations in the use of software programs that often not the same companies can identify, “Correa said.
One of the most striking factors BSA is the active participation of users and companies in the promotional activities of legality .
“People are increasingly aware of the benefits of legal software and disapprove of the use of unlicensed software in all its forms. Only during the last year has doubled the number of anonymous reports on the website No Piracy “Correa said.
It also highlighted the increase of companies participating in its program of Software Asset Management (SAM for its acronym in English), the same one that promotes proactive management of software assets within the organizations.
