Symantec Betas Web-Reputation Protection Software

Symantec Norton Safe Web aims to challenge McAfee's lead in the Web reputation space with a new beta. Norton Safe Web is a Web reputation service supported by an online directory of site reports and a user community. It rates Web site reputations and provides visual safety ratings of search results from engines such as Google and Yahoo.
Symantec has opened up a beta program for Norton Safe Web that puts the company on course to challenge a similar offering from security rival McAfee.
According to Symantec, Norton Safe Web is available starting today, July 28, as a plug-in for the beta version of NIS (Norton Internet Security) 2009. Safe Web functions as a Web site rating service, providing visual safety ratings of search results from engines such as Google and Yahoo by assessing Web security and leveraging information from members of Norton Community Watch.
"Going to search the Web to find something malicious is a little bit like looking for a needle in a haystack," said Bill Rosenkrantz, Symantec's director of product management for Norton Safe Web. "What this allows us to do is really focus our energies … we augment that approach by analyzing popular sites and utilizing third-party data. So we kind of built some sophisticated rules into our process in how we go recrawl sites, what sites we look at [and] how frequently we crawl them to make sure our ratings are the most accurate."
For example, if a site that has traditionally been considered safe is suddenly flagged as suspicious, Symantec will go back and reanalyze that quickly, Rosenkrantz said. On the other hand, if it is a known bad site, the priority of going back and reanalyzing it is low, he added.

Symantec Safe Web beta to compete McAfee SiteAdvisor
[url]http://www.ditii.com/2008/07/30/symantec-safe-web-beta-to-compete-mcafee-siteadvisor/[/url]
Symantec Safe Web currently in its beta phase, is built on top Norton Internet Security 2009, which performs many of the same functions as competitor McAffee’s SiteAdvisor. Safe Web requires Norton Internet Security 2009 to run on the user’s computer. This differs from McAfee’s SiteAdvisor offering, which is a standalone plug-in for Internet Explorer, and a Firefox extension that is also compatible with the Macintosh according to BetaNews tests.
Both services have a public site — in Symantec’s case safeweb.norton.com — where users can search the database for information on the sites they visit. But Symantec is taking it one step further, allowing users themselves to submit reviews and alerts through its Community Watch program, which speeds the notification process, the company claims.
“This trusted information helps us deliver rapid analysis and categorization of the safety and security of the Web pages you’re thinking of visiting,” said Symantec senior vice president of consumer products and core technologies.
