Prevx, a provider of internet and PC security solutions, has launched a free security program designed to protect websites and internet users from the risks of online fraud without impacting the user experience.
Banking, government and e-commerce sites can now sign up to the Prevx SafeOnline Business Partner Program and receive free protection against malware that compromises their customers’ confidential account numbers or passwords. This program boosts confidence in online transactions with free customer support, free real-time reports highlighting threats affecting a company’s website and free customer use of Prevx’s new SafeOnline technology.
Prevx SafeOnline protects PC users from threats such as phishing, DNS poisoning, screen grabbing, man-in-the-browser and key stroke logging. It can be downloaded and active in seconds, does not impact the user experience, requires no website changes, complements existing security products and even prevents infected PCs from compromising an online transaction.
Mel Morris, CEO of Prevx, said: “Despite the fact that private and public sector organizations across the world are taking every possible step to protect their customers, online fraud grows unabated.
“This is because persistent cybercriminals are simply becoming smarter, with the ability to launch attacks the second a person goes online. The technology they use is far more powerful than the vast majority of popular PC antivirus and security products on the market, which is one of the key reasons for the rising tide of crime.
“Even if other security vendors had products that could address this problem, they would most likely charge business and government customers to deploy it. We feel this creates an unnecessary barrier to addressing what are probably the most common online security threats affecting society today. Prevx SafeOnline is our approach to targeting the multiple faces of e-crime by giving all parties greater confidence in online transactions.”
