Websense introduced its latest malware detection technology on Oct. 31, rolling out its ThreatSeeker application that will serve as the technological foundation for all of the company’s security software products. As Web-based threats have shifted away from traditional attacks focused on software vulnerabilities to so-called zero day exploits aimed at previously unidentified flaws, traditional anti-virus and intrusion detection technologies have left users with inadequate protection, Websense officials maintain. By utilizing a vast network of data mining machines, along with some 100 proprietary processes based on a combination of mathematical algorithms, behavior profiling and code analysis, the San Diego-based company claims that the technology can identify zero day threats and other attacks before they show up on corporate networks.
