Real-time monitoring and protection against zero-day threats

VIPRE Business delivers real time monitoring and protection against known and unknown malware threats and leverages a number of proprietary malware detection methods, including dynamic code translation (the fastest method of file emulation), heuristics,  behavioral analysis and traditional signature-based methods.

• VIPRE analyzes the behavior of malware using the following technologies:
  • Active Protection™ – Real-time detection that works automatically inside the Windows kernel, watching for malware and  stopping it before it has a chance to execute on a user’s system. In addition, administrators can layer their own additional protection rules (“Monitors”) to look for specific types of behavior.
  • MX-Virtualization™ (MX-V) – The built-in MX-V malware analysis technology rapidly analyzes potential malware by observing its behavior in a virtual environment so that malware is caught before it actually executes on a user’s machine.  Because MX-V uses the fastest emulation technique available, Dynamic Translation – it is extremely fast – able to do its work   without compromising system performance. The integration of MX-V helps protect users from many unidentified or new variants  of malware.
  • Genscan™ and Cobra™ heuristics – Uses dynamic pattern assessment to determine if a sample is malware. The combination of all these detection techniques provides an extraordinarily powerful level of real-time protection to endpoints

Client firewall and web filtering

The VIPRE Antivirus Business Premium version delivers client firewall, host-based intrusion prevention (HIPS), network intrusion prevention (NIPS), and an intrusion detection system (IDS) that proactively protects against exploits and zero-day threats.

• • A Unique IDS functionality – Included in VIPRE are pre-defined IDS rules that are updated through VIPRE threat signatures. Administrators also have the ability to write detailed rules based on the Snort® language to complement their own security profile. Rules can be made to block admin-defined inbound or outbound traffic.
  • Boot time firewall – The Boot Time feature allows administrators to limit access on a desktop to only certain network resources upon loading.
  • Ad blocking – Automatically block third-party advertisements to reduce web page clutter.
  • Script blocking – Optionally block Java script, VB scripts, and ActiveX controls.
  • Bad URL blocking – Bad website blocking that uses the comprehensive ThreatTrack™ malicious URL feeds from GFI Labs™.
  • Anti-phishing – Blocks access to known phishing websites by email or through the web browser.
