An Overview of zveloDB Instant Protection (zIP)
zvelo Instant Protection (zIP) is a new feature designed to provide fast, up-to-the-minute updates on important category changes and real-time protection from newly identified blockable (adult, porn, hate, criminal, etc.) and malicious (malware, spyware, phishing, compromised, etc.) URLs. While SDK integrators of the zveloDB™ URL Database have always been protected from these URLs, local SDK database updates were not immediate, and were delivered once daily from the zveloNET cloud. zIP eliminates this delay so that all local SDK URL databases receive important URL category changes from the zveloNET cloud in a matter of seconds versus waiting for the next database build.
- New Malicious Detection: A URL category change because of a malicious detection
- Safety Update: A URL category change from malicious to a “safe” security reputation
- Miscategorization Update: A URL category change due to a reported miscategorization
- Objectionable Update: A URL category change to an objectionable or highly blocked category
How It Works
At any given time—whenever a new Priority 1 URL is detected—it is immediately inserted into the master URL database of the zveloNET cloud. It is then instantly delivered to all local SDK URL databases. This occurs in real-time (within seconds). Priority 1 URLs are always processed ahead of any pending Priority 2, 3, or 4 URLs.
The end result is a breakthrough system that provides real-time, continuous updates on important URL category changes. This leverages the massive computing power of the zvleoNET cloud with the speed and performance of a local SDK engine. The rapid response time proves most effective in combatting malicious websites. The specific categories in the zIP feature include:
