Cloud-Based Real-Time Alarm Service

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Armorize Technologies announced earlier today its expansion into the United States and the availability of HackAlert 3.0.  HackAlert 3.0 is a cloud-based monitoring service that scans websites and detects malware and Zero Day threats through behavioral, signature-based and blacklisted malware detection and analysis.

Real-time detection and alarms for Zero Day malware hidden in websites and online advertisements are the focus of HackAlert 3.0. HackAlert 3.0 sets a new standard in comprehensive website security, drive-by download defense and protection against being flagged by Google as a malware-infected site.  All of this will be hosted in the cloud and available in the US.

“Drive-by-downloads occur when end-users visit malware-infected websites and unknowingly download intrusive software into their computers that can be used by hackers to siphon off sensitive personal and corporate information. Undetected malware on a high-traffic website could cause millions of drive-by downloads, lead to brand damage, and destroy customer relationships,” said Dan Blum, senior vice president and principal analyst with Burton Group (recently acquired by Gartner, Inc.). “Organizations that want to protect their brands, bottom lines and customer relationships must find ways to defend their Web applications against malware injection and their customers from becoming drive-by download victims.”
