GENIYISIS COMPUTER SYSTEMS

MicroWorld launches a revolutionary concept to tackle the Content Security threats

The overall business scenario is undergoing a rapid change with Information Technology providing more advanced and faster modes of business communication like the Internet and the e-mails. However, as far as information that is being made available across the computer systems is concerned, there is a race to restrict its access, guard against information abuse and protect the valuable content.

Competitors and virus-pranksters are now using the Internet as a frictionless distribution channel for dangerous viruses and worms. Over the years, contemporary virus threats have transformed into content security threats. These comprise of e-mail & web-based virus downloads, MS Word based macro bombs, offensive e-mail & web content, misuse / abuse of e-mail resources, junk mail & spam infections, harmful Java or ActiveX applets, intrusion of anonymous Internet users and trespassing of unauthorized bodies into the company's internal network.

These threats not only damage the files & computers by acting as viral agents, but also impose productivity losses, thereby resulting in wastage of disk space, time and financial resources. Ironically, even as certain methods to guard the content security have evolved, the threats to security have only become more severe, even causing destruction of data. However, the systems employed to detect these threats are still handicapped by several deficiencies. The "cure" that is provided by software available in the market only scans data after it is saved on the hard disk; by which time the damage is already done.

MicroWorld, the leader in Content Security and Communications software, has now launched "MicroWorld-WinSock Layer" (MWL), a revolutionary concept in scanning Internet traffic on a real-time basis. This new concept is set to change the manner in which the content security threats are tackled in the knowledge world.

MWL is revolutionary because unlike the other products and technologies that are currently available, MWL tackles a threat before it reaches the enterprises' applications. Other products deal with the threat after the applications have already processed it!

Technically, MWL is placed above the WinSock layer and acts as a "Transparent Gatekeeper" on the WinSock layer of the operating system. It assembles all the packets coming on different TCP/IP ports. It then decodes e-mail & web traffic, FTP & ICQ traffic along with all the attachments and passes the same through numerous filters such as the Virus Filters, the Content Filters, the Attachment Filters, etc. These filters check the validity of the file content and issue dynamic notifications.

MWL technology sees all the data flowing to-and-from the Internet, thereby allowing it to process the data without the knowledge of the applications. Dynamic compression & decompression facilities of data flow between the Internet and the user's computer in order to maximize effective bandwidth usage are already provided by MWL.

Other areas where MicroWorld intends to use the MWL technology are:
	Dynamic encryption and decryption of data.
	Firewall application ('eConceal' from MicroWorld).
	Client independent language translation (e.g.- www.hotmail.com to be made available in any language of user's choice).
	E-CRM Business Modules (that are independent of both, the type of Mail Server and the type of Database used).

These software (based on MWL technology) provide the following features:
	Automatic detection of worms and viruses.
	Automatic incremental downloads on daily / hourly basis.
	Automatic attachment compression and decompression for optimal usage of bandwidth.
	Scanning of compressed attachments.
	Scrap mail deletion at the entry level.
	Restriction on sending mails to and receiving from a specified domain name.
	Automatic reply to the administrator, recipients and the sender when infected attachment is found.
	Downloading daily updates.

MicroWorld attempts to use its MWL technology and leverage the power of the Internet to offer the best breed of solutions to the customers by focusing on:
	Building strong vendor relations to get MWL recognized and accepted all over the world.
	Building API's and documentation to encourage other software vendors to develop software based on MWL technology.
	Providing centralized installation of its entire Software Suite (comprising of MailScan, eScan and eConceal Firewall).
	Building "easy to deploy and manage" features in the suite of products.
	Providing integrated solutions that will understand the existence of other MicroWorld product(s) anywhere across the Internet. This will help MicroWorld to take maximum benefit of a combined suite of products and a product architecture that is truly based on the Internet technology.
