[Artigo] Internet Security Suite test October 2008

[Blue Zee]

A Secunia, reputado site dedicado à segurança, testou os pacotes de segurança de internet "high-profile" disponíveis no mercado e chegou à conclusão (sic):

Symantec beats the competition... (artigo muito insteressante)

With a mind-blowing detection rate, almost 10 times higher than the nearest competitor, Symantec has beaten eleven other Internet Security Suites by offering a superior detection rate of exploits. Congratulations, Symantec!
Secunia has tested the ability of twelve different Internet Security Suites to find out what level of protection they offer against 300 exploits targeting vulnerabilities in various high-end, high-profile programs.
So, does this mean that Symantec customers can feel safe surfing the Internet?
By no means!
Even the "high" score from Symantec was disappointing. Symantec detected a mere 64 out of 300 exploits, or less than one-fourth, leaving 236 exploits undetected!

O realce é meu.
