As the amount of malware created each month continues to grow, Sophos
experts note that most hackers are now working for organised criminal gangs
intent on breaking into the PCs of innocent victims to steal sensitive and
confidential information which can then be used for financial gain. Until
today, most security companies have focused their efforts on preventing
these attacks by detecting the malicious software and stopping it running.
With RAPIL, Sophos can identity and stop the hacker before the malware is
ever even written.
"Being able to stop the hackers before they even get a chance to write their
malware, let alone spread it, is a breakthrough in the fight against
cybercrime. Frankly this technology will put Sophos lightyears ahead of its
competitors," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.
"With the amount of new cyberattacks we're discovering every month, it's
increasingly difficult for computer users to ensure there are no holes in
their security defences and that their PCs are fully defended. With our new
solution that can identify key physical characteristics, we can literally
see when someone has hacker written all over them."
