Simplicita Software Inc. and Yahoo! are teaming to provide ISPs with an automated system that protects users from phishing sites and other problems that pop up with mistyped Web addresses.
The Simplicita NXD replaces common browsing errors and phishing Web sites with Yahoo!’s paid and algorithmic search results. The application redirects users from error messages and potentially malicious sites when they request a non-existent domain (NXD) or mistype a Web address. Simplicita NXD is subscriber-configurable, allowing an ISP’s customers to opt out of the service and set their personal preferences.
ISPs can further combine Simplicita NXD with Simplicita’s ZBX botnet security system, the company said. ZBX automatically identifies and quarantines infected subscriber computers, alerts affected subscribers and provides remediation tools to remove malicious software.
