ZombiCop Product for Zombie
detection.
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.
