CyberDefender Announces earlyNETWORK 3.0
New Upgrade to Only Industry Cloud-based P2P Security Network Allows for 10X Higher Threat Detection
LOS ANGELES, May 04, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CyberDefender Corporation (CYDE 4.15, 0.00, 0.00%) , an award-winning provider of PC security, Anti-spyware/Anti-virus software, PC optimization, PC support and identity theft prevention products, today announced earlyNETWORK 3.0, a major upgrade to the company's collaborative Internet security platform.
3.0 Captures 10x the Previous Number of Threats
In tests, the company's Peer-to-Peer network, which has no equal in the PC security marketplace, is showing a capture rate of 10 times the number of phishing attacks against home PCs over its previous version, as well as increased malware search capabilities.
CyberDefender's earlyNETWORK system collects threat information from the company's more than five million active users, instantly sending all suspicious data to be tested. The information is evaluated by a sophisticated, automated system, reinforced by manual review, and elevated for even further research, if the data does not pass inspection. Mitigating pattern files are then distributed back to users through P2P and cloud computing server downloads, creating the fastest malware protection on the market for home and small business PC users.
Signatures Issued in as soon as 30 Seconds
Under version 3.0, signatures (or malware signatures) are issued as soon as 30 seconds or less, as opposed to several hours or often days for other competitive Internet security systems.
"CyberDefender offers consumers a unique advantage -- what we call the 'Zero Day Gap' -- the combination of both early threat detection and rapid updates," says Brian Yoder, VP engineering, CyberDefender. "We do this by constantly adding multi-source data feeds, targeted crawls of suspicious websites, user feedback, cloud computing infrastructure and real-time monitoring of the web. The result is that we offer the fastest response and broadest protection to our users."
"Freeware" Downloads: Dangerous
CyberDefender's system offers consumers far more protection than so-called "freeware."
"'Freeware' or free anti-malware offered as a come on by some security venders, offers no real protection whatsoever," explains Yoder. "Consumers think they are getting a good deal when a company offers them a free sweep, but freeware only helps a user mitigate existing malware -- threats already on his PC, no updates that offer him protection from malware he can pick up as soon as he logs on to the Internet again. His computer is completely vulnerable. With malware so pervasive today, consumers need to have a strong protection package loaded on their system at all times, one that is constantly updated by their vendor."
EarlyNETWORK Leverages Both Cloud Computing and P2P Technology
CyberDefender leverages both server and cloud storage technologies to take in uncategorized threats from customer service and support groups, monitor trends, scale capacity and manage server side logic, allowing CyberDefender to offer on-demand, near real-time, end to end threat analysis.
Complete detection and removal of threats requires signature distribution, Yoder explains. CyberDefender uses its earlyNETWORK architecture to distribute literally Terabytes of signature data and engine updates to its customers annually. As numbers grow, CyberDefender will become even more powerful at detecting threats and will move even closer to defense in real time.
"The threat landscape has changed dramatically for consumers in the past few years, not only in the type of threats and the volume, but the sophistication and creativity of the attacks," said Yoder. "The challenge is growing, and can only be met with constant surveillance and technology improvement."
