Cyber threat fighter, Damballa Inc., has released its ‘Top 10 Botnet Threat Report – 2010’ and it shows a dramatic increase in Internet crime and targeted botnet attacks. Damballa is a specialist in network security. Cyber crime is orchestrated using remote control communications via the internet, also known as command-and-control (CnC). Their aim is to help protect corporations, ISPs and telecommunications service providers from cyber threat attacks used for organized, online crime. They say they have a unique, global approach that rapidly isolates the command-and-control needed to launch cyber attacks. “Working ‘out-of-band’, so that network performance is not impacted and the bad guys cannot detect or evade our solution, they say, “Damballa sensors automatically detect and terminate the CnC communication that is required for the criminals to operate the malware or bot agents on breached assets. Once terminated, we provide the necessary forensics to track, plan and execute timely remediation.”
