![]() ![]() With Panda Cloud Antivirus, Panda Security is introducing a new protection model that utilizes a thin-client agent and server architecture which processes and blocks malware more efficiently than locally installed signature-based products. Consumers can download the free product from. Panda Security, a leading provider of IT security solutions, today announced the global beta release of Panda Cloud Antivirus, the industry's first and only free cloud-based antivirus thin-client with 50 percent less impact on PC performance compared to the industry average. As customers continue to outsource to partners and managed security services providers (MSSP), so too can the channel increasingly offload part of the security burden onto vendors.Panda now offers free antivirus and is banking on the "cloud computing" trend of late in the process: Recent breaches at Optus and Medibank have illuminated the devastating costs and reputation impacts of these security breaches.

The global data centres needed cost money. That PCs can secure themselves by downloading large signature files is accepted by everyone in the software industry as having no future and the cloud appears to offer a new model based on rapid and collective malware analysis.įurther out, an application whitelisting model beckons though it's hard to see how that can be offered without some form of charge. ![]() Panda is also a pioneer of the cloud approach, which is likely to gain traction in the security space. All of this increases complexity, downs performance, and generally ups cost. Antivirus suites are becoming more complex as vendors compete with one another to add features such as backup, encryption and virtual keyboards for text entry. Panda security's innovation here is probably not that the software is free - others including Microsoft offer basic free AV software - but to have done it without chopping out the useful bits. "We want to make sure that Panda is taking the market share from that migration," said Panda Security CEO, Juan Santana. The big three of McAfee, Symantec and Trend have the most to lose in this change. Panda also sees the migration from most users paying for AV to one where only a minority does as an opportunity, as well it might. "Since the debut of Panda Cloud Antivirus last year, nearly 10 million home users have selected the free service as their antivirus of choice," said Panda security senior researcher, Pedro Bustamante. This costs $29.95 per annum and includes automatic upgrades to future versions (these are manual on the free version). Panda does offer a paid 'upsell' version, Cloud Antivirus Pro Edition, which has also been overhauled slightly to include automatic vaccination of USB drives and a second behavioural engine that analyses running processes. The software can be set to block files from running until they have been checked against the cloud database. The new Cloud AV can also be set to disable the Windows autorun feature, a common malware exploit, and comes wrapped in a disarmingly simple interface that runs happily in silent mode without the user being aware of it bar the need to update. ![]()
