Data protection software that prevents fraud
Mc Loughlin says unprecedented levels of fraudulent emails are currently being circulated in an attempt to elicit private information from banking clients to gain access to their money. "Our vision is to change the way companies address Internet security. As the malware landscape continues to evolve there is one constant - reactive solutions that rely on identifying malware will only ever have limited effectiveness. Moreover, a network or computer can never be guaranteed to be free from threats, now or in the future. The key is to protect the data."
He says by installing data protection software, one is deploying the most comprehensive, real-time data protection available for users of the web. Data protection software provides anti-phishing, it prevents identity and data theft by identifying whenever a user navigates to a scam phishing site. "It prevents the site from loading, thus safeguarding you from entering confidential data into these web pages. Your software is trained to recognise popular phishing targets. Whenever you attempt to navigate to a phishing page, you are warned through a message in your browser," he explains.
More powerful than conventional solutions
The software protects the data that one enters online from being harvested by key loggers. Key loggers are forms of Spyware or Trojans that monitor one's computer activities and covertly record the keystrokes entered by a user. "The anti-key logging features of this software work on multiple levels of one's operating system and are far more powerful in terms of protecting data than those measures employed by conventional anti-virus solutions," he adds.
Many key logging Trojans also have a screen capture facility enabling data to be stolen from online keypads, drop down menus, etc. The software prevents Trojans from stealing sensitive information by preventing them taking pictures of your screen. Once again, this feature ensures that users are far safer browsing the net than if they merely have conventional anti-virus software installed.
He says one of the main anti-key logging measures of the software is that anything one enters into the web fields in the browser is automatically scrambled, it is replaced with fake random characters. "This is what any key logger in your computer would pick up - not your real key entries. When you see the scrambler working, you know your key entries are being protected."
No additional cost for hardware, software
"With solutions being delivered using cloud computing or Software-as-a-Service models, clients can now gain immediate control over their email management systems and their budgets. There expense is purely the monthly per seat fee with no need for additional spend on hardware, software or training," he says.
"Our service provides a comprehensive solution for administering all aspects of ediscovery and email archiving services, and it also provides email anti-spam and email filtering services, email compliance solutions, and email governance." By connecting existing in-house email servers, organisations can benefit from the carrier-grade infrastructure, and services including data leak prevention solutions, email archiving, and email continuity.
"Our solutions solve the problem of identity theft and stops phishing. By protecting against key logging and screen captures every time you enter data online, and by preventing phishing sites from loading in your browser, we can provide safe, secure browsing," he concludes.
