The ICSA Labs top marks for the detection of zero-day Malware go to Audra!

As the digital world progresses, thus follows the shadow of cybercrime along with it. Cybercriminals can either attack networks/devices or utilize them to engage in criminal activity. Hence, cyber security is something that everyone should be aware of these days.

What is Malware?

Malware is a kind of cybercrime that incorporates all sorts of harmful software, including viruses, and cybercriminals use it to steal financial information, commit identity theft, and execute denial-of-service attacks. Zero-day infection is a virus or other malicious software (Malware) installed on malicious websites, circulating as an email attachment, and so on. 

Yet there are several antiviruses and antispyware software makers that have not developed a cyber defense and may not have even detected its existence.

ICSA Labs:

Since 1989, ICSA Labs, an independent Verizon test lab, has provided end-users with trustworthy third-party product assurance. ICSA Labs is trusted by global companies to design and implement objective testing and certification requirements for assessing product compliance and performance.

ICSA Labs currently serve clients in the following areas:

·         Programs for Collaboration Operations, Testing, and Certification

·         Health IT Testing and Certification 

·         Custom Testing Services for Businesses and Developers

ICSA Labs IT testing is carried out in several technologies such as advanced threat defense (ATD), Anti-Malware, cybersecurity firewalls, IoT security and privacy, and many more.

Audra:

Audra is an AI-driven cloud security solution that protects you, your usages, and other connected devices to your network with highly intuitive controls and filters. Audra believes that to reduce potential cyber risks in your environment, one needs practical solutions that filter and secure your network, allowing you to live a safer digital life.

Testing:

ICSA Labs' standard testing focuses on vendor solutions that are meant to detect emerging threats that typical security products miss. The objective of the test is on how well vendor ATD solutions detect these unfamiliar and obscure threats while decreasing false positives. Other testing includes Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection (RTDMI), which has been shown to detect and stop unknown mass-market Malware, such as malicious Office and PDF files.

ICSA Labs takes the following steps to assist in satisfying the high standards that end-users and enterprises expect:

·         The certification process is an ongoing, dynamic process that continues even after the initial certification has been attained to retain certification.

·         They create tests according to the real-world scenarios faced in the daily life of the consumers.

·         The researchers, developers, and end-users evaluate the criteria, resulting in a raised bar for respective testing and certification programs.

·         These tests attest that a product has been evaluated and fulfils defined security measures and safeguards.

Hence, after several days of such testing and the completion of some tests by ICSA Labs, the 1st-ever DIY internet controller-Audra's Capture ATP service, with RTDMI, received a top score for the detection of zero-day Malware.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, though Audra is accessible as simple to install, set up, and maintain a system for home and business, it is a breakthrough to see its technology detecting zero-day Malware and get to this point to achieve such a high grade.
