The Cyberhawk Secure Community is a worldwide network of active users who volunteer to aid in identifying new threats. Any time a suspect alert is triggered in Cyberhawk, information related to this event is automatically reported to Novatix for analysis through a secure connection.  Any information collected is held completely confidential and is used solely for the purposes of researching new or previously unknown threats, gaining an understanding of their behaviors, and developing new protection against them.  Information collected may include the Cyberhawk alert that fired, the history of relevant events leading to that alert, the decision taken, and any relevant IP address information. This immediate confidential feedback on potentially dangerous new threats allows Novatix to advance its ActiveDefense technology to block these threats. So as threat strategies evolve and new security penetration tactics emerge, Cyberhawk technology will remain at the forefront of the solutions that defeat those threats.
