#Starmoney support update
Thus, with anti-virus and firewall vendors each new threat requires a new security update which can result in considerable delays. With this approach, each new malware has to do some damage before the anti-virus software or firewall can provide protection. Here the Promon solution differs from conventional anti-virus and firewall vendors, which need to update their blacklists of known malware in order to retroactively identify the malware. Through so-called whitelisting, StarMoney is protected against access from all other programs on the system and is only allowed to communicate with specific and approved programs.Īttacks from new and unknown Trojans are thus actively blocked. “We especially liked Promon’s innovative approach to protecting the application instead of the whole system.” One of the requirements specified at that time was to effectively protect bank customers against threats such as trojans and keyloggers, without the need for continual updating of the software.
