Norton Launches New 2010 Products with New Detection Technologies

With cybercrime a constant menace online, Norton's latest 2010 products has a new security model to combat the multitude of malware and phishing threats. Known as Quorum, this new method "tracks files and applications and dozens of their attributes such as their age, download source, digital signature, and prevalence. These attributes are then combined using complex algorithms to determine a reputation. As a file is distributed across the Internet and these attributes change, Quorum updates the reputation of the file. This reputation is especially important when a file is new, likely to be a threat, and traditional defenses are not likely to detect it."
