Learn about new features, changes, and improvements to UpGuard: Despite seeming like somewhat of a no-brainer, using the power of the cloud to combat cloud-based security threats has really only come into vogue recently. We’ll take a closer look at both of these solutions and discuss how security products are increasingly tapping into cloud-enabled collective intelligence to counter threats of increasing sophistication.

To improve the accuracy and efficacy of threat detection and protection in the presence of unknown dangers, security providers are now adopting a hive-minded approach to IT security.

Furthermore, virtualization technologies are being employed to isolate potential threats such as malware in safe environments for analysis and and threat assessment.

In the same sense that scientists create closed, controlled environments to study human viruses and diseases in the hopes of discovering vaccines safely, security platforms such as FireEye and PAN Wildfire create VM-based or virtualized sandboxes to analyze, identify, and protect environments from new threats.
