Network Security White Papers

Reverse Sandboxing With SafeCentral

Tags:
network security

Overview Authentium has developed a unique approach to protecting Internet users as they conduct online banking and shopping. Authentium's SafeCentral service delivers secure web browsing even on computers that are compromised with data-stealing malware. This innovative approach is called Reverse Sandboxing. Authentium is an anti-malware company that has developed Antivirus programs and Security Suites. These are important components in the overall protection of a PC. But SafeCentral targets another point of protection: online transactions like banking, shopping, and any web session that involves sensitive data. Starting with the assumption that a computer has been infected with data-stealing malware, or DNS-changing trojans that lead users to forged copies of authentic websites, SafeCentral protects the user and their data from online theft and fraud.
