Network Box wins the 2011 Hong Kong Awards for Industries, Technological Achievement Grand Award, for its new Z-Scan, in-the-cloud, zero day anti-malware system.

Traditional anti-malware technology is important, and has its place, dealing with the roughly 6.8 million computer worms, Trojans, spyware and viruses out there. ‘Z-Scan’ however, is a new approach which deals new ‘zero day’ viruses, which may be making the rounds on the Internet at any given time. When ‘Z-Scan’ was first launched, there were typically less than 150 zero day viruses live on the internet. Right now, there are more than 53,000 such viruses, and the numbers are continuing to grow exponentially.

With a reaction time of just 3 seconds in many cases, this is a far cry from the 3, 12, or even 20 hours, traditional anti-virus vendors are often taking to protect their customers. Waves of this (unfortunately) state-of-the-art malware, are hitting the Internet, at levels we have never seen before.  Read more here.
