Web Threats: Challenges and Solutions

This white paper describes Web threats, how they function, and their impacts; it explains why conventional methods fail to protect against these threats and describes the characteristics of a new approach required to ensure security, regulatory compliance, and business continuity. Malware programs in Web threats also violate Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) rules. Once a malware program is installed, it continues to initiate other programs. Excessive false alarms annoy users to the point that they disable protection or allow the program to execute. In this way, the malware evades conventional HIPS techniques.
