Purewire Research analyzes the Web ecosystem and creates security intelligence to defend our users. The team focuses on several sources of data including data sharing partnerships, commercial security data and real-time Web scans from customers. Purewire Research uses data mining algorithms to turn this mountain of data into useful actionable information, and to stay ahead of the quickly morphing Web security threats.
Two rapidly changing forces in the Web environment are the trends of the attackers and the advances in Web technologies. Attackers are constantly inventing new ways to compromise computers and their users. The exciting properties of Web 2.0 technologies such as user-generated content and powerful scripting languages also provide new avenues for attackers. Purewire Research focuses on understanding this intersection and providing security for this new paradigm.
Purewire Research consists of security engineers and research scientists with an array of specializations in computing. Our research areas include URL reputation including dynamic Web site classification, browser attack prevention including malicious script scanning, and social networking security including portable identity and user reputation.
