Secure Computing unveils latest version of comprehensive internet reputation system, TrustedSource.org

The world's leading source for intelligence evaluates the reputation of Web entities and communications in real time, based on behavior. Already the most comprehensive reputation system available, monitoring global messaging and communication content, attachments and images, URLs, domains and IPs, TrustedSource™ now also integrates Web traffic and malware data.

"Secure Computing's TrustedSource acts like a satellite advanced-warning system for the Internet that detects suspicious behavior patterns at their origins, and then instructs security devices to take corrective precautions or action," said Dr. Phyllis Schneck, Vice President of research integration for Secure Computing. "TrustedSource pinpoints reputation by looking at behavior and specific factors such as traffic volumes, patterns and trends, and enabling it to rapidly identify deviations from the norm on a minute-by-minute basis."

"The advanced ability to quickly correlate and analyze masses of data like this enables TrustedSource to provide great value for customers. It sets a new precedent in its ability to recognize and block troublesome or nefarious behavior. This is a critical solution for combating today's Web 2.0 zero-day threats, and managing risk vectors that no other products today can address," she added.

New TrustedSource features include, integrated web classification, malware information and messaging in one portal for enhanced reputation intelligence; an unbiased research-only blog for immediate insight and analysis into the latest threats identified by the Secure Computing research and anti-malware teams; a tool that identifies relationships between domains and organized crime groups providing additional correlation intelligence for administrators seeking to understand global cybercrime; a real-time count of mail volume providing dynamic and up-to-date information on spam trends around the world; and for Secure Computing SmartFilter users, an integrated ticketing system that allows them to provide feedback for web categorization and other options.

Sami Mulla, Regional Director - Middle East and North Africa, Secure Computing, said, "With this release TrustedSource.org is uniquely combining many of Secure Computing's core technologies into a single portal, making it easy for users around the world, including the Middle East, to protect against Internet threats before they are affected. When Secure Computing originally launched TrustedSource it revolutionized the way organizations were able to protect their most critical infrastructure, systems and data. Now, the new and improved TrustedSource.org is building on that success to provide an even more intuitive and comprehensive reputation service."

Michael Osterman, President of Osterman Research, said, "Today, with threat levels increasing dramatically and spikes overwhelming many defense systems, it is imperative to have a resource that leverages research worldwide in core security areas like reputation-based URL filtering, anti-spam and anti-malware. Secure Computing's breadth of data allows it to be extremely comprehensive and current and one of the best sources of reputation available today."
