Truprevent® Technologies detect unknown viruses and intruders by analyzing the behavior or activities of the programs that are running on the computer.
Their actions greatly differ from other technologies like heuristic techniques, which scan all files and programs stored in hard disks based on generic indications to determine which of them are potentially dangerous. Truprevent® Technologies scan the specific behavior of each program or file that is running. By doing this, they can identify unknown viruses and block their actions in the local machine, before they become a threat to the rest of the network.
The analysis of process behavior allows the real threat to be determined based on event correlation or the actions carried out by the program when it is run. This feature provides high reliability, preventing false alarms and freeing the network administrator from the task of manual supervision.
Finally, if the actions a program is carrying out exceed a determined threat level, Truprevent® Technologies block its actions and automatically send a sample of the program to PandaLabs via the Internet. PandaLabs will then immediately develop the vaccine against the new virus and it will be permanently eliminated.
This mode of action is what gives Truprevent® Technologies their intelligent nature, marking a giant leap forward compared with current reactive technologies.
And if the security rules or policies defined by Panda Security in the TruPrevent® Technologies need to be modified or extended to adapt to the company's need, the security policy management module offers this option, guaranteeing compliance with rules governing access to system resources: files, registry entries, COM components... to prevent unauthorized use of instant messaging, peer-to-peer programs, etc.
