Cyveillance Strengthens Anti-Phishing Solution With Behavioral Analysis Technology; Proven Solution Detects World's Most Sophisticated Phishing Attacks - Cyveillance Anti-Phishing Tracks Over 500 Brands in 13 Countries

Posted on: Monday, 26 June 2006, 12:00 CDT

Cyveillance, the leading provider of online risk monitoring and management solutions, announced today it has further strengthened its Cyveillance Anti-Phishing(TM) solution by incorporating behavioral analysis capabilities. With the ability to identify the way a web site is encoded, Cyveillance can now evaluate if a site poses a threat to its visitors based on whether it is configured to support pop-up windows, URL obfuscation, encrypted content, client-side re-directs, or phishing-related text hidden in images.

These unique capabilities complement and enhance Cyveillance's existing anti-phishing technology that uses a combination of text-based, image-based and script-based methods to analyze a web site for phishing characteristics. By combining these different methods, Cyveillance can identify and stop sophisticated phishing attacks that most other solutions are unable to detect.

"Fraudsters continue to develop new phishing attacks that circumvent most existing security technologies, and we feel it is our responsibility to develop solutions that stay one step ahead of the attackers," said Panos Anastassiadis, CEO of Cyveillance. "The addition of this behavioral analysis capability reinforces our ongoing commitment to defending against all phishing scams, no matter how sophisticated. We are so confident in our solution that we back it with our industry leading service-level agreements."

Traditional anti-phishing solutions, employing either manual review or rudimentary text-based technology, lack the detailed insight or scalability required to truly identify phishing threats on a large scale. Manual review of phishing attacks simply does not provide the scalability needed to review billions of suspicious e-mail messages and web sites every day. Rudimentary text-based technology will not detect phishing attacks that leverage more sophisticated techniques coded into the site. Cyveillance's adaptive technology approach combines its leading-edge behavioral analysis technology with traditional mechanisms to provide the most comprehensive and precise protection available.

The Federal Trade Commission reports that identity theft now affects more than 10 million people every year. Cyveillance Anti-Phishing helps organizations to prevent, detect, respond and recover from online scams that mislead their customers through fraudulent use of their corporate identities.
