ArrayShield to fight against advanced malware attacks

ArrayShield has announced the countermeasure against all the advanced malware attacks through its IDAS Two Factor Authentication solution. Gartner's report titled "Where Strong Authentication Fails and What You Can Do About It" has researched about sophisticated Trojan/malware based attacks that compromise not only passwords but also OTP/Token based Authentication.

According to the report one of the prominent attack was described as follows: "Malware sits inside a user's browser and waits for the user to log into a bank. During login, the malware copies the user's ID, password and OTP, sends them to the attacker and stops the browser from sending the login request to the bank's website, telling the user that the service is 'temporarily unavailable'. The fraudster immediately uses the user id, password and OTP to log in and drain the user's accounts."

Rakesh Thatha, Co-Founder & CTO, ArrayShield said, "ArrayShield IDAS product addresses the growing threat to enterprises from advanced malware/Trojan based attacks that steal the credentials and attack the enterprise in real time. By protecting the critical organizational data from advanced malware attacks, enterprises can minimize their security risk."
