Technology

Based on typically high German standards, with no backdoors.

Our SecurityLabs provide unparalleled analysis of and protection from malware, security risks, vulnerabilities and spam.

G DATA SecurityLabs recently discovered and analyzed a highly sophisticated, complex spyware: Uroburos. Rootkit Uroburos is designed to steal highly sensitive secret information from major networks such as national institutions, intelligence services or large corporations.

TECHNOLOGY BASED ON GERMAN STANDARDS

Official G Data Statement

G Data does not work together with the NSA, the CIA or any other intelligence agencies or investigating authorities. G Data security software does not contain any backdoors for state agencies or organisations — G Data issued a clear statement on this issue in 2011.

US Patriot Act and IT Security The introduction of the USA Patriot Act …. in 2001 removed almost all leeway for US-based companies. By law, they are under obligation to collaborate with authorities such as the NSA or the CIA. Applying this general obligation to American IT security providers, such as anti-virus providers for instance, this would also require them to collaborate with the intelligence services.

“Offers the best protection” based on comparison test results of the highly respected German organization “Stiftung Warentest” – winning seven times in a row.

Attaining awards and certificates across the world. Excellent customer service and support, with a high

customer loyalty rate.

High quality proven by consistently and persistently winning awards and certificates worldwide.

AWARDS / CERTIFICATES DEMONSTRATE QUALITY

As more and more of our lives are lived online, cyber-criminals are increasingly attracted to the worldwide shopping and communication platform provided by the Internet.

Cyber-attacks are getting more intelligent as well as technically advanced; criminals are getting more professional.

The number of new malware types remains at the same level as previously: the first half of the year saw the appearance of 1,848,617 new signature variants.

Since 2006, G DATA SecurityLabs has recorded 15,197,308 new malware types.

Statistically, a new malware type is discovered every 8.6 seconds.

TRENDS AND CURRENT THREATS

Consistent increase of malware demonstrates an increasing threat.

Overall the Top 10 make up a share of 80.3% of all classified websites, which is a significant 8.3% more than even in the previous half year. The Top 5 alone are responsible for 59.0%.

A growing number of websites are manipulated by cyber-criminals; one visit to a manipulated website is enough to infect your computer.

All kinds of websites are being manipulated, for example news, sport betting, or even children’s sites.

Theme of a website is no indicator of whether the website is likely to be infected or harmless.

TRENDS AND CURRENT THREATS

Everybody surfing the Internet is in danger, no matter which websites is visited.

Growth in the use of smartphones to access the Internet has created another potential route for the spread of malware.

Growth in data mobility has led to increasing incidents of online industrial espionage and intellectual property theft.

Number of licenses for Mobile Device Management increased dramatically in the past four years.

In business, the ratio of Internet access is shifting from desktop PCs towards mobile devices.

TRENDS AND CURRENT THREATS

Cyber-attacks are happening across all kind of devices, including smartphones and tablets.

Exploit kits have been as active as ever The criminals behind the banking Trojans have also been

infecting large numbers of computers recently, using massive waves of spam as their starting point.

Depending on the type of malware, a particular focus of the attackers is banking and financial services providers.

In principle, two formats need to be distinguished in attacks by banking Trojans: there are invisible attacks, and attacks from the social engineering sector.

BANKING: Trends in the Trojan market

The banking Trojans sector remains the most lucrative in the underground economy

825 different targets were attacked by the banking Trojans investigated

On average, the Top 25 targets determined were attacked by 8.68% of the banking Trojans investigated; the Top 100 targets were attacked by 4.69% on average, and all 825 targets by 0.83%.

Of the Top 25 targets of attack, 12 come from the USA, 6 from the United Kingdom and 4 from Canada. Hence 88% of the targets of attack were located in English-speaking countries. Two payment service providers came from Russia and just one bank in the top list came from Germany.
