Panda Software Launches TruPrevent Technologies
Panda Software has launched TruPrevent Technologies, the most intelligent technologies to combat unknown viruses and intruders, incorporated in a complete range of retail products designed to protect home users, as well as businesses and professionals:
* TruPrevent Personal, aimed at those that want preventive protection against unknown threats or for users that already have a traditional antivirus (from other vendors) installed on their computer but need the enhanced security offered by Panda's TruPrevent Technologies.
* Titanium Antivirus 2004 with TruPrevent Technologies, aimed at protecting home-users' computers.
* Platinum Internet Security with TruPrevent Technologies, a security suite to protect businesses and professionals against all the latest Internet threats. This all-in-one solution includes antivirus, firewall, intelligent protection against unknown viruses and intruders, anti-spam, anti-spyware and web access control.
IT security management is an increasingly complicated task, and it's not made any easier by the constant appearance of vulnerabilities in all kinds of applications. Antivirus solutions are highly effective when it comes to preventing known attacks, but as they are essentially reactive, they become much less effective when it comes to blocking new, unknown viruses and intruders as there is a critical time lag between the discovery of a new threat and the moment in which systems are actually updated to protect against it. During this time computers are vulnerable. For this reason, when worms like Sasser, Mydoom or SQLSlammer appear, they are able to rapidly infect millions of computers.
In the future, these kinds of fast-spreading threats are likely to appear with increasing frequency and are certain to use a wide range of techniques to infect computers. The solution therefore lies in the implementation of preventive solutions, capable of pre-empting the problem and intercepting these attacks as they enter or leave the computer. Panda Software has spent several years working in this direction and the result is the launch of its TruPrevent Technologies: the most intelligent technologies to combat unknown viruses and intruders.
Just like a good detective, TruPrevent Technologies analyze suspicious behavior in programs and automatically block them intelligently with no need for human intervention and without having to ask users any questions. This characteristic also makes them extremely simple to manage.
According to Pedro Bustamante, Chief Marketing Officer at Panda Software: "TruPrevent Technologies are a genuine answer to the need for greater security against new Internet threats that are too fast spreading for a human response to be effective. This has been demonstrated with the new and dangerous Bagle.AH and Mydoom.N worms which were blocked by TruPrevent Technologies before they could take any malicious action. These technologies hail a new era for IT security."
The combination of traditional security systems and antivirus protection with the new TruPrevent Technologies has created a new benchmark in levels of security against the increasing number of Internet threats, including unknown viruses and intruders.
TruPrevent Technologies also incorporate a system for eliminating all traces of infections and unknown attacks. This means that system configurations affected by a virus, worm or intruder can be restored to those that existed prior to the attack, undoing changes to file names, new registry entries, infected libraries, etc.
Another advantage of TruPrevent Technologies, especially for home users and professionals, is that they are designed to avoid false positives, i.e. to identify only applications that represent a real threat to the system.
TruPrevent Technologies represent a landmark for the antivirus market, as the powerful protection against viruses and intruders offered by Panda Software's products is now enhanced by the capacity of these new intelligent technologies to neutralize attacks from unknown threats. The end result is simply greater security for all users.
