F-Secure Corporation is at the forefront of developing ‘in-the-cloud’ technology to fight cybercrime through object reputation analysis – a technology that has far-reaching implications in the security industry and beyond.
The Internet security industry needs the speed and power provided by cloud computing to be able to respond to the exponentially growing volume of cyber crime. F-Secure is committed to developing cloud computing and reputation-based services – harnessing the power of end-user systems and collaborative intelligence in the network to fight cybercrime. This creates a strong, trusted connection between the security provider and the end user, allowing F-Secure to offer unprecedented quality and speed of protection for its customers.
F-Secure launched its real-time protection network in September 2008. It is an implementation of the in-the-cloud reputation service, capable of supporting several types of security solutions. F-Secure DeepGuard 2.0, which combines local analysis of program behavior with the use of a real-time protection network for identifying both good and bad software, scored an industry first in the same month with its instant reaction times and global protection against new threats. This is important in today’s dramatically changed threat situation where the Internet is facing a deluge of new malware and variants that make traditional heuristics or signature-based solutions just too inefficient and slow.
Pirkka Palomäki, Chief Technology Officer at F-Secure, says: “Our real-time protection network is based on in-the-cloud computing. It has been designed to support a wider range of security services than just antivirus and F-Secure is now further enhancing many of its services to use the power of cloud computing.
Palomäki continues: “Looking towards the future, F-Secure’s real-time protection network has the architecture and potential for checking the reputation of any objects, such as applications, sites, documents or even phone numbers. It provides more nuanced information, for example whether an application is ‘productive’ or ‘violent’.”
This progression into cloud computing is natural for F-Secure and is considered critical for addressing future threats. F-Secure has been building in-the-cloud protection for years. Its first form has been the creation and maintenance of Network Operation Centers globally since 2001, which laid the groundwork for the real-time protection network. Actual in-the-cloud protection has been implemented since 2006 with F-Secure’s antiphishing services that use network-based verification of threats.
T. Sean Obrey, Head of ISP Business, says, “We have over 170 partners globally and network operation centers on all continents. These global networking services and solutions have been developed to support our business. It is very natural step for us to now provide our protection services, via our Service Provider partners, to their end customers using the cloud experience that we continue to develop.”
The F-Secure real-time protection network is currently being used by F-Secure DeepGuard 2.0 which is included in the F-Secure Internet Security 2009 and F-Secure Anti-Virus 2009 consumer security products, as well as the corporate F-Secure Client Security 8 solution and others being launched this year.

Server load balancing can offer substantial value to small-to-medium size businesses (SMBs) through dramatic increases in performance, high-availability and application-level security of the servers and applications running behind them.
Traditionally, load balancers came at a great cost, both at acquisition and through a high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), allowing only the larger enterprises to be able to take advantage of this technology. The advent of affordable server load balancers that specifically target the SMB market present new opportunities, enabling them to cost-effectively deliver this technology.
By leveraging these new products, SMBs can now have a more reliable web and application infrastructure, more easily and cost-effectively scale servers for growth, and protect web applications from application-level security attacks.
We’ve created this Load Balancing Solutions for SMB webinar specifically tailored to IT professionals charged with the management of web and application infrastructure.
Topics Covered:
- Overview of server load balancing
- High-availability for servers and applications
- Benefits of offloading and accelerating SSL traffic at the load balancer
- Establishing persistent (sticky) access to transactional server applications
- Benefits of caching and compression in accelerating application delivery
- Types of applications and protocols that benefit from load balanced architecture
Title: Affordable Load Balancing Solutions for SMBs

With the addition of Windows Terminal Services (WTS), KEMP delivers a solution that helps organizations best maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of their networks, at an SMB-affordable price point.
With WTS enabled, users are able to maintain persistence as well as perform resource monitoring for Window servers running multiple services. The LoadMaster resource monitoring feature offers useful data on both memory and CPU, ensuring users experience the most efficient load balancing possible on each server.
KEMP is also now able to integrate seamlessly with MS Session Directory – providing a more reliable re-connect when a remote desktop connection to the server is disconnected.
While the LoadMaster provides full support for Microsoft’s Session Directory, one of the most distinguishing features is its ability to provide RDP-based Layer 7 Persistence. The LoadMaster’s Layer 7 Persistence incorporates client session reconnect, which can be utilized without the need for the Session Directory service to be installed.
Additional benefits of WTS include service checking for servers running Microsoft WTS, and extended capabilities for the increasing segment of remote workers. The KEMP product line currently includes three models, the LoadMaster 1500, LoadMaster 2500 and LoadMaster 3500 – all three models now come WTS enabled, and include a comprehensive first year warranty and technical support agreement.
