Most anti-virus products rely primarily on signatures to stop viruses. These signatures
are based on known viruses. Relying solely on this method leaves a dangerous window
between the time a virus first appears and the time a signature is developed and
deployed. Every passing minute until a signature arrives is enough time for a virus
to multiply and further compromise your network.
The Outbreak Intelligence™ Technology employed, leverages our solution provider’s
position at the internet-level, at the center of all Web traffic from their entire
customer network, to proactively identify threats, quickly develop heuristics, and
test these against real data to quickly ensure accuracy and effectiveness. ScanSafe's
ability to analyze threats proactively ensures that Outbreak Intelligence™
heuristics are created and updated 24x7 for immediate protection.
Mailprotector’s Internet Security service provider currently processes billions
of monthly Web requests. Automated real-time analysis of this substantial traffic
is a key threat indicator and Outbreak Intelligence™ uses a range of statistical
and machine learning techniques including trend analysis to analyze this traffic.
This approach can identify seemingly innocent files that may contain malicious code.
The Outbreak Intelligence™ laboratory further utilizes its large, continually
refreshed data set to validate new and existing heuristics and to optimize their
sensitivity, thereby eliminating false positives.
Once detected, Outbreak Intelligence™ automatically propagates to the scanning
layer where threats can be neutralized before they reach our customers' networks.
Outbreak Intelligence™ forms an integral part of our multi-tier protection
that combines a proprietary heuristics engine with anti-virus signature protection
from multiple, leading anti-virus signature engines. These engines have a comprehensive
set of signatures to prevent previously identified viruses from infecting your network,
and using a service architecture, ensures our customers receive signatures immediately.
In combination with the Spyware Screening service (SS), the Outbreak Intelligence™
technology has been expanded to provide protection against incoming spyware threats.
In addition, Outbreak Intelligence ™ uses sophisticated traffic analysis to
block and identify infected hosts that spyware applications attempt to "call
home".
Our multi-tier protection ensures that your network remains secure before, during,
and after a web virus or spyware attack.
