Antivirus is dead, says maker of Norton Antivirus

[dicksi]

Brian Dye, VP of Information Security at Symantec has acknowledged that the antivirus software is dead. He said that the antivirus doesn't make money anymore and Symantec is now exploring other ways to handle the cyber security problem. Symantec is known globally for the commercial antivirus software 'Norton Antivirus' that pretty much graced all the home and business computers in the late 90s. However the antivirus software began losing its sheen because of its poor efficiency in preventing the malware from making it to critical business machines.

The hackers have always been a step ahead in the race. Mr. Dye now thinks that instead of controlling the entry of the hackers into the systems, the focus of the security industry would be on minimizing the damage. For example, Juniper Networks, one of the leading corporations working in the area of networking asks its customers to put fake data on their machines, so that even if hacked; the intruders will have data that is useless. Another company named Shape Security Inc., based out of Silicon Valley, assumes that the hackers will find out a way to steal sensitive data like debit/credit card numbers and is working on making it tad difficult for the hackers to use the stolen cards to make purchases

The hackers have always been a step ahead in the race.

Fortunately I have to agree.

I wish I could be one of them and read the 'Net of such threats!
