Analyzing Internet Traffic for Malware

Malware in both fixed and mobile networks is growing exponentially. It’s been reported that banking Trojans were removed from 1.6 million computers in the past year, over 20 million computers are infected by the 4 leading botnets and almost 70% of online adults, have fallen victim to cybercrime.

More frightening is that, as smartphone use continues to rise, mobile malware increased 4x in a 3 month period (early Sept to late Nov 2011), as reported by Kindsight Security Labs. There clearly is a problem that affects both subscriber and the service provider’s network. Being on top of the problem is a critical first step.

With Kindsight Security Analytics, service providers can pinpoint infections in the subscriber’s home networks and mobile devices and then take action on these findings to protect the network and subscribers with improved security policy and network operations. Find out how Kindsight Security Analytics works.

The Kindsight Security Analytics platform analyzes fixed and mobile Internet traffic for malware, generates aggregated statistics and allows the service provider to drill down to specific subscribers, pinpoint infections and discover why a particular device is misbehaving. These security statistics are available on a dashboard for easy review and include:

• Number of infected devices
• Malware types observed
• Historical trends, frequency, and recency of specific malware
• Malware behavior summaries
• Periodic infection reports and outbreak incident bulletins

Find out how service providers can benefit from Kindsight Security Analytics and how it can reduce churn.

Leveraging the same platform and deployment, Internet service providers and mobile operators can quickly offer revenue-generating, network-based security offerings with the Kindsight Security Services. This enables the service provider to notify and help the subscriber fix the problem in addition to detecting the malware within its own network.
