As cyber-security issues continue to be the talk of the town, a cyber-security company here has stepped up their protection. One of the world’s leading cyber-security companies, F-Secure Corporation,  is strengthening its technological foundation and employing state-of-the-art technologies to provide a robust yet agile cyber-defense framework.

The company is making significant progress in developing artificial intelligence (AI)-led security solutions. They are also integrating big data-based algorithms into its approach to proactively identify and mitigate threats.

“We will be building on our existing capabilities in 2018. F-Secure will also be on the lookout for any new developments in the global cyber-security domain that will help us further strengthen our defenses. We continue to learn constantly by both a services and a product approach as far as our product development goes forward,” says Yong Meng Hong, Southeast Asia regional manager for F-Secure.

Ransomware especially remains an issue for cyber-security experts everywhere. The WannaCry outbreak took everyone by surprise, and F-Secure look set to prepare for the next wave or ransomware. The F-Secure SAFE program will protect users from ransomware effectively. This is thanks to its advanced behaviour protection technology known as DeepGuard.

Yong explains, “F-Secure SAFE Internet Security now includes additional behaviour-based protection capabilities that monitor selected folders for ransomware-like behaviour as part of its DeepGuard Host-based Intrusion Prevention System. In case risky behaviour is detected, the process is automatically blocked and users are warned about the potential ransomware.”

He adds that DeepGuard works by identifying attacks based on signs of exploits and/or unauthorised behaviour. DeepGuard also prevents unknown or potentially suspect applications from changing, renaming or deleting crucial files in your system.
