Mumbai : Aladdin Knowledge Systems, an information security leader specializing in authentication, software DRM and content security, announced the launch of the Aladdin Attack Intelligence Research Center, a facility for Internet security cyber crime investigation.

Based at Aladdin's headquarters in Israel, the Attack Intelligence Research Center is comprised of global security researchers and law enforcement and cybercrime specialists dedicated to delivering security data and intelligence that educates, supports and strengthens the security community, and drives innovation in Aladdin's content security solutions.

Spearheaded by forensic web specialist Ian Amit, Director-Security Research, Aladdin Knowledge Systems, the center steps beyond traditional threat detection to provide business intelligence surrounding evolving threats, predict future trends in Internet security, and uncover the inner workings and affects of the business of e-Crime. The findings enable organizations to implement best practices and build corporate policy to protect against zero-hour and future Internet threats that compromise legitimate business safety.

"Discovering malware is only half the battle-our mission is to go beyond threat detection and malicious code to identify where the threat came from, who is benefiting from it, and how threats ultimately affect real organizations today and in the future," said Amit. "It is only through the understanding of how these threats are developed and delivered that we can protect our businesses today, and become educated and better prepared for tomorrow."

The center will publish a semi-annual security trend report that not only recapitulates the web threats of the previous six months, but also uses these findings to summarize trends in cybercrime and predict threats that will affect businesses in the next six months. Amit will also recommend proactive actions organizations can take to protect against attacks. The Attack Intelligence Research Center will consistently deliver a 24x7 threat research, monthly threat forecasts, technical blogs, regular security updates, opt-in e-mail/SMS notifications and emergency support.
