ScanNow for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

The free scanner checks whether your network-enabled devices might be vulnerable to attack through the UPnP protocol.

Recent research from Rapid7 revealed that around 40-50 million network-enabled devices are at risk due to vulnerabilities found in the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol. UPnP enables devices such as routers, printers, network-attached storage (NAS), media players and smart TVs to communicate with each other.

Three groups of security flaws in the protocol are exposing millions of users to remote attacks that could result in the theft of sensitive information or other criminal activity such as spying.

G Data hat auf der CeBIT in Hannover die neue Generation seiner Sicherheitslösungen vorgestellt.

Die Bochumer Sicherheitsexperten nennen ihre neue Lösung „G Data CloseGap“, den „Lückenschließer“. Die neue Technologie - „made in Germany“ – soll schnell und ressourcenschonend die Lücken im Abwehrring des Computers schließen, die zwischen dem ersten Auftreten eines Schädlings und der Bereitstellung einer entsprechenden Signatur auftreten.

CloseGap verbindet hierzu signaturbasierte und proaktive Schutztechnologien (wie BankGuard, WebCloud und BehaviourBlocker), weshalb G Data das Ganze auch als Hybridschutz bezeichnet. So wehrt beispielsweise das ebenfalls neu entwickelte Bankguard-Modul gefährliche Banking-Trojaner signaturunabhängig in Echtzeit ab, wie G Data verspricht.
