Today, traditional code-comparison technologies are facing unprecedented challenges. According to Av-test.org, there are now more than 11 million malware programs in the world, and this number is still growing. This brings two problems, first for the security vendors, although the virus database is constantly updated, but with the increasing number of malicious code, the gap will be more and more big. It is understood that in 2005, only about 50 signatures were added to the virus database, and in 2008 the number increased to 5,000, even if all the security vendors shared the virus database, it was not possible to compete with the speed at which malicious code grew. In addition to the user, the increasing code base makes the client's anti-virus tools become very large, in the network bandwidth and system resources are scarce, anti-virus products can not play an effective role, without changing the anti-virus strategy, the user's anti-virus tool will eventually go to a dead end.
So how does the content security protection technology represented by anti-malicious code get out of a dead end? Trend technology company recently introduced the concept of "web security Cloud Era" and launched the next generation Content security protection solution based on cloud security technology architecture, which aims to evaluate the security level of accessed information by dynamic , the malicious information before intrusion into the network, at the source directly to block it, so as to achieve 0 contact, 0 infection protection value. In fact, the core of the trend technology cloud security is to go beyond the traditional approach of intercepting web threats, and instead to the global network of threat information, which uses the cloud security technology of trend technology to intercept web threats before they reach the network or computer. It can be said that the introduction of the trend cloud security to the content of security protection technology opened an innovative way.
How safe is the cloud?
In the field of web threat defense technology, if security cloud computing is an innovation, then the essential element of this innovation is the user, the more users, the larger the entire cloud, the more accurate security calculation, the more rapid. It can be said that "cloud security" so that the defense of web threats is no longer a single product to do, but with all Internet users and web threats to fight, "cloud security" so that everyone is a contributor to identify security threats.
What can cloud security bring to users?
With cloud security, what benefits can users feel? It is understood that at present some manufacturers have integrated cloud security technology architecture into the company's full range of products, such as gateway security equipment IWSA, client products OfficeScan, SME products worry Free5.0 and personal consumer Products network security experts ( TIS). This enables enterprise users and individual users to "detect" the fast real-time security status of the cloud through a trend-tech security product, reducing the reliance on downloading traditional signature files on endpoints and reducing the cost and overhead associated with deploying signatures within the company. This is certainly good news for users.
In the context of Antimalware code, some users can only rely on traditional deployment signature technology to implement web threats blocking and detection. To this end, some manufacturers also for such users to introduce free web threat defense tools, such as the internet worry-free electronic eye. This tool is free to download, because the built-in Web reputation Service (WRS), after installation can intercept malicious links, effective and complete protection against the zero-bad web attacks, while the tool also provides and zombie program monitoring capabilities.
Cloud conjecture
It should be said that cloud security is an innovative way in the field of anti-virus, I also agree with this technology trend. Using the power of the internet to make everyone an anti-virus defender is the ultimate goal of cloud security. Earlier, the domestic security manufacturers rising company also launched a "cloud security" program, and the use of Kaka to collect virus Trojan samples, which with the trend of science and technology "web Cloud Security" architecture is similar to the use of their own products to collect virus samples, its essence is in the fierce market competition to seize the opportunity.
Assuming that the future, how all the security companies take this innovation path, is bound to bring a serious problem: the cloud will be more and more. Trend cloud, rising cloud, Symantec cloud ..., such clouds, in the eyes of the end users, still is the competition of products and services. Who can effectively solve the problem, who can take precautions is the user's concern. We are also clear that security is always an attack and defense contradictions, there is attack only to defend, this system once by the cloud security break, perhaps not long, there will be "anti-cloud security" architecture technology appears, perhaps then can truly experience the "competition in the Clouds" feeling.
