Symantec will join the WOMBAT consortium to understand Internet threats and malicious code trends.
The three-year EU Funded project WOMBAT (Worldwide Observatory of Malicious Behaviours and Attack Threats) will leverage the Symantec’s Global Intelligence Network. Wombat aims at providing new means to understand the existing and emerging threats that are targeting the Internet economy and its users. WOMBAT is the third research project since 2004 for which Symantec has received funding from the European Commission. The Symantec Research Lab - Europe at Sophia Antipolis in the south of France is also currently working with research institutions, world-leading technology companies and European telecommunications providers on the European Commission’s three-year AntiPhish project and recently completed the European Commission’s 33-month-long research Project LOBSTER for security protection of European broadband.
