White Paper Shows That Anti-Virus Protection Misses More Than 50% of Malware
Posted in Security on Aug 18th, 2008 No Comments »
The first half of 2008 saw online fraud scams continue to grow in frequency, geographical reach and technical complexity, specifically in the area of increasingly sophisticated malware. Cyveillance recently tested best-of-breed anti-virus vendors over a thirty-day period and found that more than half of all malware threats on the Internet go undetected. At the same time, malware attacks delivered via the Internet has more than doubled in the last year, with financial institutions (banks and credit unions) representing the most phished brand.
The podcast features an interview with Greg Ogorek, Manager, Anti-Phishing for Cyveillance. In that capacity he runs the Security Operations Center for Cyveillance, which is responsible for managing anti-phishing operations for a variety of Cyveillance clients, including a number of credit unions. Cyveillance is the NAFCU Services Preferred Partner for anti-phishing and online fraud monitoring.
