Corero signs agreement with Kaspersky Lab

Kaspersky Lab, a well-known developer of software to combat computer viruses and other malicious software (malware), is to provide network security and business software provider Corero Network Security information on dodgy software.

Kaspersky Lab will provide known malware signatures - means of identifying potentially harmful software - for inclusion in Corero's Intrusion Prevention Solution (IPS), a souped-up firewall product designed to stop corporate networks from being hacked or infected.
