Zombies are responsible for almost all of the malicious activity
on the Internet today, including sending malware, phishing, and spam outbreaks,
as well as participating in DDoS, data theft, click fraud and credit card
fraud. When zombies are located within organizations, the threat is enormous:
they can cause leakage of sensitive data, disruption of mission critical
systems, or significant financial loss. As zombies evolve, they become
stealthier and more sophisticated in the way they evade traps and infect new
machines.

|
The more infected machines a zombie network has,
the more of a threat it poses. However, even one infected machine in a
sensitive location creates a data breach, which could cost an organization at
least $100,000
not to mention other operational costs, potential brand damage and other likely
problems.
The extent of the risks and potential targets of this malicious
threat are considerable. Almost every sector is exposed to the threats posed by
zombies; Home users are at risk of identity theft and financial scams; ISPs IP addess
ranges can being blocked as a result of outbound spam originating from their
infected subscribers’ machines; publishing and advertising companies suffer
revenue losses as a result of click fraud conducted by zombies. And
corporations are at risk of theft of sensitive data or being attacked in their mission
critical infrastructures. Networking and security vendors need to provide reliable
solutions for rooting out the zombie threats.

The diversity of zombies’ activities and the convergence in
web and messaging threats requires a holistic approach to deliver a robust
solution. Commtouch’s unique approach incorporates a security feedback loop
that includes continuously updated data from all of the Commtouch traffic
sources, in order to provide the most updated and meaningful zombie data.
Commtouch analyzes over one billion email messages per day, along with web
traffic and other sources, which are examined separately, and as a whole.
Moreover, Commtouch uses the data within its complementary security products as
a source to identify zombies as well. This feedback loop enables Commtouch to
automatically identify zombie IP addresses with high accuracy and near-zero
false positives as they are being activated, providing actionable information
