Webroot
Cymtec Sentry utilizes the Webroot RockSafe SDK to provide enterprise-class network threat detection and active protection. The SDK combines the scanning strength of Spy Sweeper Enterprise with Webroot's extensive spyware definition database to deliver the most effective anti-spyware engine available to the network appliance OEM market.
The RockSafe engine provides the core technology for products that monitor traffic at the network perimeter and takes appropriate action when a spyware threat is identified. By scanning both URLs and binaries, the RockSafe technology can be used to provide protection for inbound and outbound network traffic.
RockSafe leverages the power of Phileas V, the next generation of Webroot's automated spyware research system designed to proactively seek out the most malicious types of spyware and malware, and Webroot's renowned in-house Threat Research Team. Phileas V includes a multi-tiered bot network that employs advanced research techniques, like deep packet sniffing. This and other advanced technologies ultimately improve Phileas' ability to discover new threats more quickly, accurately and efficiently than ever before. Utilizing the data culled by Phileas V, Webroot's Threat Research Team has created a comprehensive set of network perimeter definitions that can be used to stop malicious threats before they reach the desktop. With nearly 150,000 different spyware traces addressed in this definition set, RockSafe provides a comprehensive first layer of defense.
