VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
Kaspersky Lab has announced that its Whitelist database, containing information about legitimate programs, has surpassed the 500 million unique files mark. The database is actively used in Kaspersky Lab’s consumer and corporate products to provide better security and efficiency for customers and is dynamically updated to keep track of new programs. The identification and classification of legitimate software helps to minimize the risk of false positive detections and provides an effective yet simple way for businesses to enforce security policies, by implementing functionality such as Application Control and a Default Deny scenario. The Whitelist database keeps growing at the rate of 1 million new files per day.
