SEP IPS Blocks Drive-by Download from Beladen dot com

Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 11 blocks a drive-by download from beladen dot com seen in latest drive-by download attacks this week. Drive-by downloads are one of the primary sources of endpoint infections and infect people just by visiting a website without the user clicking on anything. The drive-by download will exploit a vulnerability in the browser, multimedia application, reader or ActiveX control on the end users system.

SEP's Network Threat Protection includes Network IPS which protects against underlying vulnerabilities from being exploited and protects the endpoint as is seen in this video. SEP even blocks the attack with more than two week old antivirus definitions.
