Sanrasoft has recently introduced Rudra, a new antivirus technology. Based on concepts related to malicious codes, this is considered the third revolution in global antivirus technology.
According to information we have received, this technology allows the PC protection program to guard against not only known viruses but also unknown malicious codes, including viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, keyloggers, and hackers.
The principle is quite simple. Mr. N.S. Bhaskar, the creator of Rudra and the CEO of Sanrasoft, stated: “This technology keeps a detailed image of a PC in an uninfected state and then continues to monitor the system and changes in files. Any changes in files, system configurations, or important changes in operating system programs are immediately flagged as potential threats. If the system status changes are deemed dangerous, the computer will immediately remove the threats and restore to its original uninfected state. Therefore, Rudra can protect computers from unknown threats.”
This marks the third revolution in antivirus technology globally. The first revolution was the Signature-Based technology, which sought out and eliminated viruses through specific binary code signatures stored in the program’s database. However, it struggled against new viruses that did not have identifiable signatures.
The second revolution was the Heuristic-Based technology, which identified viruses based on their actions. Programs that exhibited potentially harmful behaviors were classified as viruses. This often led to confusion between legitimate operating system programs and actual viruses. Now, Rudra promises to be smarter and more scientific.
According to statistics from Computer Economics, damages from programs deemed viruses in 2004 amounted to approximately $18 billion, with an annual increase trend of about 30-40%. Meanwhile, IDC reported that the market for such security solutions was around $2.7 billion in 2003, rising to $3.3 billion in 2004, and projected to reach $3.8 billion in 2005.
Consequently, Mr. Sanjay Bhardwaj, CEO of Sanrasoft, believes that the demand for this new product will be substantial, not only domestically but also on the global market.
Let’s wait and see.
