New Line of Defense Against Botnets
Trend Micro has created in it's InterCloud Security Service a new way of testing for botnet activities that could eliminate the ability for botnet activity to hide.
Bots are normally created in a way that protects them from being detected using pattern matching, but InterCloud using behavioural analysis named Behavioural Analysis Security Engine (BASE). This analyses application and network data such as DNS queries, and routing tables to find any activities that could be related to botnets. With this testing the service can find and isolate bots in real-time eliminating their ability to spread or even attack.
Trend Micro is planning on releasing this in the last quarter of this year More information can be found here.
