igh-level
security attacks like myDoom, Melissa and
Code Red that crippled some of the most
secure systems and networks in the techworld
redefines the technicalities surrounding
Internet security. As we start to learn
that traditional reactive security measures
are no longer sufficient to secure and
protect systems and networks, we must adopt
proactive security agents to combat threats
that are commonly known as zero day threats – new
viruses that bypass the common signature-matching
techniques of reactive security measures.
Proactive Security Measures
Amnet understands and fully endorses
the demand of proactive security systems
that revolutionarily analyses the behaviour
of threats and deny their entrance to
your networks rather than adopt the traditional
signature matching technique. Hence,
we are proud to present to you solutions
like Cisco
Security Agent and Webwasher which
are more accurate in securing systems
by eliminating the window period from
the discovery of a new threat to formulating
a defense (virus update) against the
threat as in the case of myDoom, Melissa
and Code Red.
