PineApp have announced the launch of its new ZombiCop Product. Email threats, such as Spam, Viruses and Phishing have become a major concern for organisations. Over 90% of Spam and Viruses are sent through Zombie computers; computers or servers that have been involuntarily compromised by a Virus or Trojan-horse and are used to send out Spam. Until today, the common approach was to add layers of defense on the enterprise and end-user side. However, a new demand has risen to force ISPs to prevent these threats from emerging from their networks. PineApp ZombiCop[TM] provides a scalable and cost efficient infrastructure for ISPs, saving bandwidth usage and providing business continuity. With ZombiCop, unwanted communication is blocked and ISP's mail-servers' blacklisting are significantly lowered. ZombiCop[TM] not only improves the detection of zombie-based threats and protects organizations, but also improves detection ratio of existing Spam, Virus and Phishing systems. PineApp ZombiCop[TM] can be used as a: Passive Inspecting Sniffer, alerting the ISP once a Zombie is detected or as an Active Policy enforcer, blocking or reducing traffic generated from detected Zombie IP, and can also be used as a Smart Traffic Analyzer, adding content inspection layers and the ability to detect other protocols, such as P2P and VoIP.
