NanoScan is part of Panda Security’s strategy to face the new malware dynamic, in which more threats are being spread, and whose creators aim to profit financially. More specifically, NanoScan is one of the examples of moving from traditional solutions (1.0) to those known as 2.0.
To get a better idea, take a look at the features they include:
Solutions 1.0:
· Intelligence is on the PC. This results in loss of performance, slows down the computer, causes incompatibility problems, etc.
· PandaLabs carries out manual and semi-automatic processes for detecting new threats, so they can only process a few dozen new threats a day.
· They usually provide users with a new product per year.
However, in 2.0 solutions:
· The intelligence mainly resides in the knowledge base accumulated on Panda's servers. Therefore, the solutions are small and fast (like NanoScan) and can detect much more malware.
· They are backed by a new PandaLabs with automated processes to deal with thousands of new threats every day.
· The software is conceived as a service. It is in this context that we have developed the “perpetual beta” concept. That is, products that are constantly evolving in a process that has direct participation from the users.
This evolution allows Panda Security solutions such as NanoScan, to detect more threats than traditional products and provide users with greater security.
