Understanding the cloud security of antivirus software

At the end of the year, the domestic anti-virus software manufacturers have released new products, in the process of investing heavily, "cloud security" has become the most recent industry's most popular vocabulary. For users and non-professionals, in the "cloud security" success after Dizzy, still not clear what new ideas, resources occupy small? Has the function been increased? Or is the security improved?


　　


Let's take a look at a manufacturer's explanation of "cloud security". Cloud security "fusion of parallel processing, grid computing, unknown virus behavior and other emerging technologies and concepts, through the network of a large number of clients on the Internet Software behavior anomaly monitoring, access to the Internet Trojan, malicious program of the latest information, Push to the server for automated analysis and processing, and then distribute the virus and Trojan solution to each client. In short, the application of cloud security technology, identification and killing virus no longer rely on the local hard disk only virus library, but rely on a large network services, real-time collection, analysis and processing. The entire internet is a huge "anti-virus software", the more participants, the more secure each participant, the entire Internet will be more secure.


　　


through the above, we can see that the so-called "cloud security" is in the anti-virus software manufacturers and users to establish a two-way communication mechanism, thus timely and effective protection of network security. As far as I know, in the current domestic mainstream anti-virus software products, from Slovakia's eset NOD32 as early as 2006, in its advanced heuristic engine adopted the technology, called the Threatsense.net Early warning system, and applied for a patent. As a node in the Eset cloud, the user's computer eset can learn about the user's installation of the software using the Threatsense.net alert system. When the antivirus engine found that a software is very suspicious, but not enough to identify it is a virus, threatsense.net will collect information about the software, and with the central server exchange of information, the central server through all the data collected will be able to quickly and accurately provide feedback.


　　


in order to let you have a more comprehensive understanding of this technology, we take ESET NOD32 security package As an example, introduce the Threatsense.net early warning system usage. Threatsense.net This function in the ESET NOD32 antivirus software in the default open state, the system performance and speed without any impact. If not, you can find threatsense.net settings in the settings below:


　　


　　





threatsense.net settings can be entered from the Advanced Settings interface, located in ' Tools ' > Threatsense.net. Check the Open threatsense.net Alert System checkbox to activate the Advanced settings ... button to set further. (pictured)


　　


of course, we can also choose not to open the threatsense.net warning system. When this option is turned off, there is no change to the software functionality.


　　


in summary, we can probably know what cloud security, cloud security significance, and cloud security in the antivirus software and how to use. Hope for everyone in the purchase of anti-virus software help.
