Panda Security
From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia
Panda Security SL, formerly Panda Software,
is a computer security company founded in 1990 by Panda's former CEO, Mikel
Urizarbarrena, in the city of Bilbao. Initially centered on the production
of antivirus software, the company has expanded its line of applications to
include firewall applications, spam and spyware detection applications,
cybercrime prevention technology, and other system management and security
tools for businesses and home users.
Panda's products include security tools for home users and enterprises,
including protection against cybercrime and kinds of malware that can damage
IT systems, such as spam, hackers, spyware, dialers and undesirable web
content, as well as detection of WiFi intrusions. Its trademark technology,
branded TruPrevent, is a set of proactive capabilities aimed at blocking
unknown viruses and intruders. In 2007 Panda introduced a new collective
intelligence security model, which utilizes grid computing for malware
collection and detection.
Panda has recently launched new [solutions] [1] on the market, providing
security from the cloud thanks to its proprietary Collective Intelligence
technology; an automatic scanning, classification and disinfection system to
combat new IT threats.
Panda Security spots market opportunity with cloud [2] and on November 2009,
unveiled its first Cloud-Based Security Services for Home Users and SMBs[3] |
