Gladiator Technology’s Security Research Department is another weapon in our arsenal that helps ensure the continued growth and fine quality of our network and information security services. This department analyzes new attack methods (utilizing our separate Malware Network) to help facilitate effective detection methodologies to proactively protect Gladiator CoreDEFENSE clients from new security threats. To address today’s intensifying malware threat, the department has developed a service called Raw Traffic Analysis (RTA) that is used to identify and track malicious traffic on a client’s network by examining successful outbound connections. Our clients are kept informed of the latest threats and security vulnerabilities via articles and advisories posted on the Gladiator Research and Security website (http://research.gladtech.net/) and through timely eBlast notifications.
