AhnLab to Launch AhnLab Security Insights with Featured Analysis from Leading Research Firm

Newsletter Provides In-depth News and Expert Insight on a Range of Pressing Security Related Topics and Trends

(04.04.11) - AhnLab Inc., a provider of integrated security solutions, announced the launch of its official AhnLab Security Insights newsletter, featuring research from global research firm, Gartner. The semi-annual publication targeted towards trade audiences will include news, analysis and case studies on the very latest in online security, with contributions from both companies as well as third-party sources.

"One of the keys to combating threats against online security is information," said Mr. Hongsun Kim, CEO of AhnLab. "With this newsletter, our purpose is to provide an invaluable resource to industries and customers through the combination of AhnLab’s industry leading security expertise along with Gartner’s renowned research capabilities. Just as with the first, future editions of AhnLab Security Insights will seek to address pressing security concerns as well as providing advance information on potential threats which may not be as easy to spot for mainstream media not as familiar with the indicators."

The newsletter, with plans to publish semi-annually starting this month, has frequently been suggested by several groups including notable financial institutions, government agencies, and corporations. The newsletter will be distributed in digital version both directly to requesting parties and via the AhnLab website. Future plans for AhnLab Security Insights include widening its distribution base as well as incorporating interactive components into the newsletter.

The first issue of AhnLab Security Insights features in-depth news and analysis on the hot ZeuS online banking malware topic which has drawn media and consumer concern from around the world.

"Malware-based attacks continue to raid many millions of dollars from business bank accounts worldwide, causing often-devastating losses to victim businesses and damaging the reputations of their banks," reports Avivah Litan, Vice President and Distinguished Analyst of Gartner, in the research we feature.

The newsletter also provides a closer look at ZeuS, how it operates, and steps for proactive fraud management. (AhnLab: ma)
