“Moreover, processing and storing large volumes of information is advantageous in that it helps optimise and train the protection system, while security experts have the option of adjusting and fine-tuning the protection system as it operates. “This combination produces a synergy effect that saves resources and provides a high level of malware detection. Use of empirical data and the system’s learning capabilities enable a gradual specialisation and perfection of its functions.” Kapersky says the “cutting-edge” technology was invented by Oleg Zaytsev, a senior technical specialist at Kaspersky, and that the patent for the new technology and its implementation was registered as No. 7 540 030 by the US Patent Bureau on the 26th of May this year. According to Kapersky, today’s computers are exposed to a growing number of increasingly complex and rapidly changing malicious programs, and greater emphasis is now being placed on automatic protection methods that ensure fast data processing and prompt responses to threats. However, says Kapersky, such technologies often generate false positives or suffer from low levels of new threat detection. CONTINUED page 2 |
