Trend Micro Launches Anti-Botnet Service
Paul F. Roberts writes in InfoWorld:
Trend Micro announced a new service to help large organizations and Internet service providers (ISPs) fight networks of zombie machines, known as "botnets."More here.
The new service, dubbed InterCloud, was announced Monday and is intended to help organizations fight botnets, fast-changing networks of rogue computers that are used in denial of service (DOS) attacks, spam campaigns, identity theft, and other malicious acts. The new service uses behavioral analysis technology, developed by Trend, and known as Behavioral Analysis Security Engine (BASE) to spot and isolate bot machines on managed networks, according to Paul Moriarty, director of product development for Internet Content Security at Trend.
BASE analyzes application and network infrastructure data, such as DNS queries and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing tables. The engine can spot behavior indicative of bots, such as an abnormal series of DNS queries.
