How to choose a Web Trojan Protection Tool

Web Trojan protection tool selection standard

Fully monitors program communication

From a professional perspective, the operation of Trojans has certain rules. That is to say, a security expert can view the content of the program communication to determine whether there is a trojan in the webpage or system. However, this requires professional technologies and rich experience. For ordinary users, professional tools are required to comprehensively monitor program communication and tools to make up for their lack of knowledge and experience, to discover processes and ultimately cut off the communication of Trojans.

The most basic principle of a Trojan is communication between the client and the server. Determining the validity of the server or client identity (for example, whether the server requested by the client or a single connection request connects to multiple servers) is one of the most important criteria for determining whether a program is a trojan. However, it is easy to say that the trojan program will use various means to hide such features, so as to implement the purpose of spoofing protection tools and users.

Therefore, when selecting protection tools, we finally choose these tools with comprehensive monitoring functions for program communication, and cut off Trojan communication if necessary. If the protection tool has this function, security personnel with certain professional skills can use this tool to monitor process communication. This allows you to find processes in the earliest time.

In fact, this standard is a bit similar to the third standard. Its main function is to discover and kill processes, namely unknown Trojans, in the first time. However, I need to remind you that this requires a high level of professional skills for the operator. Generally, IT personnel of an enterprise are responsible for this purpose. Ordinary users may not be able to do this.

Monitoring of specific files and sensitive areas

Different applications in the operating system often have different security requirements. For example, for online banking applications, the security level requirements are relatively high. For these key applications, special consideration is required for Trojan protection. This involves whether the protection function can monitor specific files or sensitive areas.

To put it simply, there are two applications: online banking applications and BBS applications. These two locations are the places where Trojans prefer to pay attention. However, from a security perspective, online banking applications are much more secure than forums. If the two applications are monitored at the same time (sometimes dozens of applications are used by the enterprise), a large amount of information will be recorded.

At this time, suspicious behaviors are found from a large amount of information, which is very difficult. However, if only key applications are monitored during monitoring, the scope involved will be very small. IT security personnel can monitor communications more specifically.
