Press Release !!

Microsoft menggunakan Sandbox dari Norman   28 Oktober 2003

Microsoft www.microsoft.com memutuskan untuk menggunakan Norman Virus Control V.5.6 dengan teknologi Sandbox V.2 sebagai bagian dari kebijakan pengamanan antivirusnya. Norman Virus Control digunakan Microsoft untuk meyakinkan bahwa semua piranti lunaknya bebas dari virus dan program berbahaya lain sebelum dikirimkan ke pelanggan.

Microsoft merupakan salah satu rekanan utama Norman sejak Beta Testing Sandbox V.2 dan tertarik untuk menggunakan teknologi Sandbox V.2 yang terkandung dalam antivirus Norman.

 

Teknologi Sandbox yang dimiliki Norman memungkinkan untuk mendeteksi virus baru tanpa tergantung pada update definisi antivirus yang sangat diandalkan antivirus konvensional lainnya. Teknologi Sandbox mengawali satu era baru independensi program antivirus dari keharusan update definisi dalam rangka mengindentifikasi virus baru yang sedang beredar.

Teknologi yang unik ini menghentikan dan mengkarantina program berbahaya yang menyerang komputer berdasarkan aktivitas yang dilakukan oleh program tersebut, sebelum file identifikasi pengenal virus yang biasanya didapatkan melalui update antivirus tersedia.

Hebatnya, program Sandbox ini sangat dinamis dan memiliki kemampuan mengupdate dirinya sendiri guna mengantisipasi ancaman virus yang berkembang sangat cepat dan dinamis.

Virus terakhir yang menyebar secara meluas dan terdeteksi oleh Sandbox V.2 tanpa update adalah W32/Swen.A, selain itu virus-virus lain seperti varian Yaha, Randex, Blaster dan Opaserv juga terdeteksi dengan baik oleh Sandbox sebelum update definisi antivirus tersedia.

 

Program Sandbox merupakan salah satu komponen dari Norman Virus Control V.5.6 dan berfungsi untuk menyempurnakan proteksi antivirus Norman Virus Control. Para pelanggan Vaksincom www.vaksin.com yang menggunakan Norman Virus Control di Indonesia dapat menikmati perlindungan Sandbox ini tanpa biaya tambahan. Jika anda merupakan pengguna NVC dan mengalami kendala teknis dalam mengaktifkan Sandbox, silahkan hubungi support@vaksin.com untuk mendapatkan bantuan teknis tanpa dipungut biaya.

PRESS RELEASE

Oslo, Monday, October 27, 2003

Microsoft uses Norman Virus Control v5.6 with SandBox v.2 to check and protect Microsoft programs against malware.

Oslo, October 27th, 2003. Norman Data Defense Systems, today announces that Microsoft has decided to use Norman Virus Control v.5.6 with SandBox v.2 as part of their anti-virus security policy. The anti-virus software is used in Microsoft's release labs to ensure that all software is free from viruses and worms before being released to the end users. Microsoft has been one of the key partners in the beta testing of Norman Sandbox v2.

Norman's SandBox technology makes it possible to catch virus and worms before virus signatures have been released. The Norman SandBox technology represents a milestone in non-signature based detection of new, unknown viruses. This unique technology stops and quarantines the malware attacking the machine based on its behaviors even before any virus signature file is created for this specific threat.

The latest widespread worm detected and stopped by Norman Virus Control using SandBox technology was the worm W32/Swen.A. Other recent viruses and worms stopped by this module are variants of Yaha, Blaster, Randex and Opaserv.

Norman Data Defense Systems will continue to support Microsoft with Norman Virus Control and will support all major operating systems delivered from Microsoft. With its commitment for the Microsoft platforms Norman is in the process of getting Microsoft Gold Partner certification for Independent Software Vendors.
