Bright Data oins Anti-Malware Testing Standards Organisation (AMTSO), an international non-profit association that focuses on addressing the global need for improvement in the objectivity, quality, and relevance of anti-malware testing methodologies.
Bright Data helps security companies detect unusual or unauthorised activity that can signal bad actors and malicious web activity by scanning thousands of webpages in near realtime to detect phishing sites. Bright Data is committed to making the internet safer for everyone, in part through combating cybercrime and protecting businesses against the cost of cyberattacks.
Five of the ten top global cybersecurity companies rely on Bright Data’s technology to protect their customers, and Bright Initiative partners use the technology to conduct professional security research.
AMTSO is a member-driven organisation that develops standards and guidelines for anti-malware testing, providing advice and guidance to the expert testers that make up its member organisations, as well as to others starting out in testing. The organisation developed and maintains a Testing Protocol Standard that gives testers and vendors common processes for anti-malware testing.
AMTSO members can leverage Bright Data’s network to conduct forensics investigations with the world’s largest proxy network. We also offer a pro-bono program for professional security research under our data for good program, the Bright Initiative.
