Cyveillance Launches Malware Protection Service

October 16, 2006; 05:15 AM
Cyveillance, the leading provider of online risk monitoring and management solutions, today announced immediate availability of its proactive malware intelligence service. The latest release in a series of planned OEM Program offerings, Cyveillance Malware Protection™ delivers comprehensive, real-time intelligence about websites that distribute files containing malware, spyware or adware. Cyveillance Malware Protection provides ISPs and security companies with a rapid time-to-market security solution that identifies websites that attempt to download malware to users’ computers.

Cyveillance Malware Protection is the most comprehensive and dynamically updated malware intelligence available, representing detailed analysis of over 95 million domains across the entire Internet. Web sites are evaluated by both signature-based and behavioral-based technologies to discover security threats and accurately identify specific attacks. These unique capabilities enable leading ISPs and security companies to improve consumer trust in electronic transactions and provide unique differentiation from their competitors.

“The proliferation of blended phishing and malware attacks is resulting in significant user distrust of the Internet,” said Panos Anastassiadis, CEO of Cyveillance. “These attacks not only severely degrade computing performance, but also generate increased ISP customer support call costs. As distribution of malicious software gets smarter and more prevalent, ISPs and security companies must implement innovative solutions that will protect against these growing threats while ensuring consumer confidence online.”

The intelligence provided by Cyveillance Malware Protection is easily integrated into existing Internet access and security applications; providing security companies and ISPs with a customizable solution to address specific usage scenarios. Unlike existing desktop-based or network-based solutions such as anti-virus and anti-spyware systems, Cyveillance Malware Protection monitors the Internet to proactively provide intelligence on malicious Web sites; preventing users from visiting them.
