Introducing Proactive Exploit Protection

[Venustus]

Norton Security customers (and, in fact, anyone running Norton’s Windows client – 22.5.4 or newer) benefit from the introduction of a new protection framework called Protective Exploit Protection (PEP) that aims to better protect Windows devices from so-called “zero-day” attacks – attacks that attempt to exploit undiscovered and unpatched holes (or vulnerabilities) in Windows applications or in the operating system itself. PEP features three powerful protection techniques that will stop several types of prevalent zero-day attacks in their tracks.

I don't know how good this will be but anyway here is the link if you want to have a read:

I do not know whether this security feature is any reliable either, and am not currently willing to test it, however it is great to see some new competitors in the field of exlpoit protection.

Malwarebytes (MbAE) and SurfRight (HMP.A) were pretty much running as a two-sided oligopoly...

The more competing products, the easier it will be to determine the most effective one by means of comparison.

Sometimes we don't need to be satisfied through the words provided on paperwork, although Symantec have good intention to provide comprehensive information how their exploit protection but still everything will be influence on detection capabilities.

So if Norton's detection rate are not so high then goes same on that exploit protection implementation.

It could be good if it works, hoping it does.

Norton exploit protection is one of the best already, with this new framework it will be top tier for sure, altough it wont compete with standalone tools like MBAE/HMP.A and Traps.

It works, Norton blocked an exploit EMET couldn't block...
