BLADE: Can it stop drive-by malware? | IT Security | TechRepublic.com

Right now, there is an abundance of web sites successfully serving malware to unsuspecting visitors. Is there a cure? Some researchers think so.



The research team’s work points out once again how important it is to keep the operating system and all applications (specially Adobe products) up to date. With no vulnerabilities, drive-by malware cannot gain a foothold.



I did point out that BLADE will not solve every problem, but it has promise to be a good tool in our security arsenal. If you are interested, check back at the BLADE-Defender.org web site, as BLADE V1.0 (a free research prototype) will be available soon.
