Securing Computer Networks by Networking Multiple OS kernels. (Revisting Network Security: Protecting Computer Networks from Malwares)

Only in the past decade, malwares have assumed the identity of menace among the users of the information security highway. With their populace gone up beyond measure in the recent years, absolute protection from them is a question of ongoing research. The problem becomes more serious when it is a networked based environment. Starting from servers to clients, malwares can certainly create havoc in a networked environment. Networking among computer provides malwares with an easy mode of transport. They can easily transfer from one system to another, thus infecting several systems in no time. Numerous technologies have been employed to counter their threat. However, immunizations with these technologies keep being devised. Present scenario calls for technologies that hit the very base on which the spread of malwares in a networked environment stands. With the malware industry letting out new variants of malwares to infect large computer networks at an incredible pace, it has become imperative in the present to come up with strategies so as to counter their threat. With every new malware coming into picture, new technologies are designed to combat them and the reverse unfortunately stands true. The present scenario demands fresh technologies which strike the roots on how malwares enter a network and consequently spread inside it. The malwares have to be checked from the entry point itself because once they find a place inside the network, they can create innumerable places for them to hide. The mechanism to counter malwares in a networked environment proposed in this paper, checks the entry of malwares right from the entry point of a network itself. The architecture powered by networking among multiple OS kernels and cloud computing will certainly be a progressive step in controlling the malware menace among computer networks.
