Cyber attacks are becoming more and more advanced and large-scale. Limited resources of individual developers are not enough to completely protect user data. New threats and methods of hacker attacks appear more and more often. Antivirus products take a long time before updates of virus databases take effect. During this time user’s devices continue to be vulnerable.
Statistics show that current anti-virus technologies of leading developers, on average, reveal no more than 95% of cyber security threats, and prevent no more than 80%. But this is about already existing threats only. When it comes to preventing future information security problems, large antivirus software companies provide protection for no more than 70%. Other statistics show an even less encouraging picture: according to Harvard Business Review, the best antivirus programs intercept only 5% of threats online.
At the same time, the costs of ensuring the security of information systems are quite high. For private users, antivirus protection costs about $ 50 a year. At the same time, corporate customers spend up to 25% of their own information technology budget on security.
Despite the fact that the market for antivirus technologies is growing fast, developers provide protection only within their own systems without including other companies solutions. This makes antivirus protection less flexible and efficient at a fairly high cost of services.
The latest solution is offered by LevelNet, which developed the world’s first distributed cyber security system for real-time protection. LevelNet fights virus attacks with combined efforts, using all existing solutions of various antivirus systems developers. LevelNet is a global ecosystem that combines antivirus solutions and users sharing data on threats and supporting expansion of system’s functionality. Individual developer solutions are “dead” — they do not support interaction with users and are incapable of quickly combating threats using other technologies, while the LevelNet network is “live” and it provides real-time protection with the help of quick and intelligent unified system .
The LevelNet system is a unique program that is not only updated by the efforts of all users, but also does not conflict with conventional antiviruses. User devices will be under reliable protection even if they do not have antivirus software installed. To ensure protection, all the resources of the system will be used, including antivirus programs from various sources without reference to the specific development of the individual provider. Such an integrated approach will cope with any kind of cyber attacks starting from a normal Trojan, and ending with a powerful hacker attack. LevelNet is a new stage in the cyber security systems development.
