Happy Birthday, Artemis!

About a year ago, McAfee announced McAfee Artemis Technology, delivering real-time protection from known and new malware without downloading any signatures.  This is protection for the Internet age in Internet time.

McAfee Artemis Technology is based in the cloud and provides protection based on correlation of known malware fingerprints, whitelists and behavioral techniques with real-time threat intelligence gathered from the user community and McAfee honeypots. McAfee Artemis Technology is the first always-on, real-time protection system that secures enterprises and consumers from threats as they strike.
