F-Secure Internet Security 2010

India: href="http://pcquest.ciol.com/content/search/showarticle.asp?artid=97372">F-Secure's

Exploit Shield, a feature in Internet Security 2010 and F-Secure's

business solutions, gives computer users protection against malicious

exploits of software vulnerabilities such as the infamous "Operation

Aurora" espionage attack against Google and several other

technology companies. This recently discovered exploit for the

Internet Explorer browser, known as CVE 2010-0249, can allow

outsiders to remotely control infected computers.

New

vulnerabilities are constantly being discovered and software

manufacturers issue patches to fix these security problems while

criminals seek to exploit the unpatched vulnerabilities in order to

gain access to systems and data. Attacks against vulnerabilities

which are not known by the software vendors at the time of the

exploitation are known as href="http://www.google.co.in/custom?domains=http://pcquest.ciol.com/&q=zero-day+attacks&sa=Search&sitesearch=http://pcquest.ciol.com/&client=pub-0788439606881995&forid=1&channel=5973776609&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&safe=active&cof=GALT:#008000;GL:1;DIV:%23ED1E24;VLC:663399;AH:left;BGC:FFFFFF;LBGC:ED1E24;ALC:0000FF;LC:0000FF;T:000000;GFNT:0000FF;GIMP:0000FF;LH:50;LW:322;L:http://www.ciol.com/ads/google/images/pcquest.gif;S:http://pcquest.ciol.com/;FORID:1;&hl=en">zero-day

exploits. Traditional antivirus solutions are only able to protect

against attacks that have been seen and analyzed and provide no

protection against zero-day exploits.

Chia

Wing Fei senior security response manager at F-Secure APAC says,

“F-Secure's unique Exploit Shield has been designed to protect

computers against new, unknown attacks during the crucial period

before a patch fixing a security vulnerability is issued. That's

when the security hole is still open to be exploited by the

criminals. The Exploit Shield kicks into action at the first sign of

suspicious computer behavior, even without prior knowledge of the

specific vulnerability and related exploit. For example, thanks to

the Exploit Shield we were able to block the “Aurora” exploit

proactively — before the attacks were made.”

The

Exploit Shield also instantly reports to F-Secure's real-time

protection network about new exploits and malicious websites that

spread drive-by downloads. This means all F-Secure customers around

the world benefit from better protection by getting a warning sign

not to enter a malicious or hacked website through the Browsing

Protection feature in Internet Security 2010 and F-Secure's

business solutions.
