Trusteer, a provider of secure Web access services, has unveiled Pinpoint, a new Web login and transaction monitoring service that can detect the presence of malware without the need to install any software on the endpoint device.
The new offering enables enterprises, financial institutions and other online service providers to transparently detect immediate threats on the user’s machine before allowing them to sign-in or execute transactions, said the company.
In addition, Pinpoint uses intelligence gathered from malware command and control servers to accurately detect behaviors associated with infected computers, this information is provided in real-time through a cloud service that is constantly updated with new behaviors.
The company said that the Pinpoint supports both manual and automated workflows for responding to malware attacks, including: sending an email alert to the IT security team with information about the end-user and the malware detected; and having the web application read the results using the Pinpoint API during login or when the user executes a transaction, and generate automatic responses.
Trusteer products vice-president Yaron Dycian said Web fraud prevention is a three legged stool that combines detection, protection, and remediation.
"With the release of Pinpoint, we have added a no-software option for login and transaction monitoring that complements the comprehensive protection and remediation capabilities provided by Rapport," Dycian said.
"Now organisations can deploy multi-layer protection that covers their entire customer base and generates real-time information about malware that can be used to block fraud attempts."
