With the explosion of social applications like Facebook and Twitter, each of us can now have our very own, ever-expanding social network. This online, social community includes friends, family and business associates that we most often talk to, email, exchange pictures, and share links with. With all of this traffic within each social network, it is no longer enough to protect your own computer alone. You need to protect your social network Protect Your Community. By shielding members of your social network from threats, viruses and other malware, you greatly reduce the risk of threats making their way to your own computer.

Immunet Protect is the first security application focused on protecting your community. Using cutting edge technology and leveraging the collective knowledge of the users in the Immunet Cloud, Immunet Protect defends you in real time against thousands of new threats generated every day.

With Immunet Protect, you can seamlessly integrate with your contacts. An invitation system lets you automatically invite members of your social network into the Immunet Protect community. You can see the complete list of members in your network and then decide who to invite. Getting your social network protected has never been easier.

Traditional AntiVirus products rely on the same technologies and processes that they did twenty years ago. The companies behind these products have labs around the world where they gather threats, examine them, and based on certain outcomes, push down large sets of detections to customers. 99% of these detections will never be needed by you. This model worked well when it was designed in the 1980s but the threat landscape has changed so dramatically in the last 5 years that it bears no resemblance to the world that spurred this strategy.

Detection delays in this traditional process average on the order of days, but can take as long as weeks. In the past, threats numbered in the tens or the hundreds and had a lifetime of many months. Today, the number of threats has risen to tens of thousands per day, the majority of which evolve and change rapidly. Todays AntiVirus vendors fight an uphill battle and struggle to evolve in order to handle this influx of new threats.

Immunet Protect overcomes these challenges by using the power of cloud computing. Instead of a top-down, centralized and inefficient approach, Immunet uses a bottoms-up architecture by decentralizing much of this analysis and by moving these detections to the cloud. As a result, you only use the detections that you need. Your computer is always connected to the Immunet Cloud, providing you with real-time AntiVirus protection with a detection set that is always up to date. No more delays, no more updates, and no more bloat. This is the power of cloud computing.

Given the volume of threats today, its proven that no single AntiVirus vendor is able to provide complete protection. Each vendor is faced with a daunting number of threats to contend with, each leveraging teams of analysts to produce thousands of detections every day. In addition, the increasing volume of targeted attacks all but guarantees that one vendor may never see the same threats that have been seen by another; thus further fragmenting protection. Competing vendors have no incentive to cooperate to make things better.

Immunet Protect provides protection by harnessing the collective wisdom of the security products that you already run, as well as knowledge on the applications installed across our entire user population. Simply put, Immunet Protect collects security judgments on what is, and what is not safe from its community. These aggregated judgments are coalesced in the cloud, and, if they are sound, made available to the rest of the Immunet Community immediately.

You no longer have to rely on isolated security labs to find and resolve security threats. With the power of Collective Immunity, you can benefit from the eyes and ears of the quickly growing population of Immunet Protect users. Dont wait for other vendors to re-architect their products when you can use Immunet Protect today.
