Close the Zero-Hour Gap: Protection from Emerging Virus Threats

Overview To exploit the "zero hour gap," or the time it takes to identify attacking malware and write signatures that detect and neutralize it, virus writers are using several new distribution strategies -- so-called "short-span" and "serial-variant" attacks. Sometimes they use a combination of both.

This white paper from Proofpoint delves into the challenges presented by the zero-hour span discusses:

Why the need for signature-independent outbreak protection is more important than ever.
The latest advances in network traffic analysis and recurrent pattern detection.
How Proofpoint Zero-Hour Anti-Virus technology protects enterprises against new viral outbreaks within minutes of their introduction.
