Let's discuss here about a new platform, LevelNet. LevelNet is a revolutionary cyber-security software designed to provide unseen-before protection level to any internet user. Once installed on the device it forms peer-to-peer network and combines all cyber-security resources available in the network to protect single user. LevelNet designed to be installed on billions of devices, making every individual user invulnerable to viruses and other malware.
LevelNet is not another anti-virus. And it is not affiliated with any existing anti-virus or cyber-security company. LevelNet is a small but very capable software agent that is able to trace all cyber threats in realtime and provide total protection from all of them.
LevelNet will always be free, or almost free as we might need to start charging a nominal annual fee of $0,99 in the future.
LevelNet could be installed on desktop PCs, tables, mobile phones or any other device connected to the internet such as car for example.
What Is LevelNet?
LevelNet, found online at LevelNet.co, aims to solve problems with today’s cybersecurity industry.
The biggest problem with today’s cybersecurity solutions is the length of time it takes for knowledge to be distributed across the community. One of the main providers might identify a threat. However, it takes significant time for that knowledge to be distributed – say, to other security companies and to the general public. Malware and viruses take advantage of this window to infect the greatest number of devices.
Eventually, antivirus software has patched the exploit, but the damage has already been done.
With that problem in mind, LevelNet wants to create an integrated, global, and immediately-responsive system to stop malware more quickly than ever before.
New cybersecurity systems can seamlessly integrate into the LevelNet network to further enhance overall protection.
How Does LevelNet Work?
LevelNet’s developers describe their solution as “simple and elegant.”
The platform can integrate any current cyber protection solutions for enhanced protection, allowing users to rapidly detect time-sensitive cyber threats for as long as they’re a member of the LevelNet network. That means the network will disrupt current threats while enhancing security measures against future ones.
There are three key features of the LevelNet security system, including:
Subscribers pay $0.99 to $9.99 for an annual subscription on their device
The LevelNet Network & End-Point App integrates users into a single universal cybersecurity network; users can exchange data about emerging threats in real-time on all their devices, combining all antivirus capabilities into a single network
LevelNet Cloud contains a database of incidents; this database is updated in real-time, forming a reputation service for files and other objects
These three core features add up to one simple conclusion: LevelNet defends against threats even when there’s no antivirus software installed at a particular endpoint. In other words, the network defends devices even when they don’t have antivirus software installed.
Each member of the LevelNet network exchanges information about IT security incidents detected on their device with other users in real time. The network receives better protection as a whole.
Cybersecurity is quickly becoming one of the most important industries out there.
It’s no surprise, either – anyone who stays up to date with the online world will be only too aware of the chaotic goings-on of recent times.
Gone are the days when all users had to worry about were Trojan horses and spam emails. Large-scale, highly sophisticated attacks take place with terrifying frequency nowadays, and they’re on the rise.
And in Blockchain, new promising cybersecurity ventures like Gladius.io are now emerging.
Cybercrime costs are expected to hit $6 trillion by 2020, which has a lot to do with the growing volume of data online. The Internet of Things (IoT), devices like webcams and portable speakers that connect to the internet, is also a risk factor as these are often poorly defended and a prime target for hackers.
The number of IoT devices has been predicted to reach 200 million by 2020, so defense in this area is a massive concern.
With all these new developments and worrying predictions, cybersecurity companies have had their work cut out for them. The industry has been going through a pretty impressive growth spurt and is projected to be worth $170 billion by 2020.
What’s more, spending in weak areas is on the rise too. IoT spending is forecast to reach $547.2 million by 2018, up from ‘just’ $231 billion in 2014.
Worrying weaknesses
However, there are some gaping holes in the security industry. A spine-chilling study by Harvard Business Review found that even the best antivirus software only catches around 5% of new threats.
The best performances by software only manage to deal with 80-90% of real threats, and Symantec found that three-quarters of all websites have exploitable vulnerabilities.
It’s all pretty unsettling stuff, and unfortunately, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. With the current rapid pace of technological development, lots of the near-future threats to cyber security could be things we have no idea about right now.
New IoT devices and functions, the rise of artificial intelligence, and cars (90% of cars are expected to be online by 2020 according to one prediction) are just some of the areas that might pose huge threats to our online safety in coming years.
If that’s not scary enough, many are predicting a rise in cyber warfare with nation states using cyberattacks to wage conflicts in the digital sphere.
What’s the answer?
It’s clear that more must be done to defend against the growing arsenal of cyber threats facing us. To work out the best solution, it’s important to take a look at why current cybersecurity systems are allowing threats to slip through the net.
The main providers out there are spending vast amounts of money, researching frantically, and seemingly doing everything in their power to keep the pace with developments. And for the most part, they’re doing a great job.
So what can they do better? LevelNet thinks they may have the answer.
LevelNet’s solution
LevelNet plan to create a network, built from users of various different cybersecurity programs. They’ll be connected in real time, and able to share information about emerging threats quickly to the rest of the network.
To join the network, you’ll need to buy some LevelNet tokens, which will allow access to the entire ecosystem along with intellectual property rights.
The idea is that threats can be detected far more effectively. Instead of relying on time-consuming research by security providers, threats can be detected by a single user’s security software and relayed to the entire network in a relatively short amount of time.
Threats will be detected as they emerge, and after a risk assessment, action can be taken quickly and decisively to put a stop to them across the entire network of providers.
The hope is to create a new way of doing cybersecurity, one that will minimize damage by minimizing response time and maximizing co-operation between the different security providers and their customers.
Overall, LevelNet describes itself as “an informational security network” where connected users can “exchange information about IT security incidents (viruses and other computer threats) detected on their device.”
