FireEye, is enabling organizations to protect critical intellectual property, computing resources, and network infrastructure against botinfiltration
What Company Is Offering:
FireEye, Inc. is the leader in anti-botnet protection, enabling organizations to protect critical intellectual property, computing resources, and network infrastructure against bot infiltration. Today’s most damaging attacks originate from and through highly organized botnets, or networks of remotely controlled, compromised machines. FireEye delivers a complete solution that is designed from the ground up to detect and protect organizations from botnets through global and local intelligence and analysis.
How Much They Got From VCs:
FireEye, Inc., the leader in global anti-botnet protection, today announced $14.5 million in new venture capital funding from a suite of blue-chip investors led by DAG Ventures with Juniper Networks, JAFCO Ventures, SVB Capital, Norwest Venture Partners (NVP) and Sequoia Capital also participating. The new investment marks the company’s third round of funding totaling $34.5 million. FireEye will leverage the new funding to further develop the company’s botnet protection solution and key sales and marketing initiatives.
Why To Use It:
Botnets are armies of infected and remotely controlled computers, or bots, which are employed by cyber criminals to exploit consumers and businesses for profit. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the annual loss due to computer crime is estimated at $67.2 billion for U.S. businesses. By coordinating hundreds of thousands of infected PCs into a highly efficient botnet, cyber criminals can execute a wide range of malicious attacks from denial-of-service (DoS) extortion and consumer identity theft to phishing schemes and government espionage. The increase in user-generated Web content and the popularity of Web 2.0 applications in the enterprise such as Web-based e-mail, social networking and SaaS CRM provide botnet hackers with new vectors for infiltration. Preventative measures such as FireEye’s Botwall™ solution are essential in discovering and stopping botnet infections before they put resources, information and people at risk.

Ecomonkey --Rewarding Green Shopping
What Company Is Offering:
Ecomonkey doesn't tease you with green rewards whatever you buy. Ecomonkey encourages you to buy greener in the first place. Whether you are shopping for fashion, a new mp3 player, replacing a household appliance, wanting to green your energy supply or holiday by train, Ecomonkey has something for you.
You can chose from thousands and thousands of products, thousands of brands and from hundreds of selected retailers - including many well-known high street names.
Before we enter into a relationship with a retailer we check out the their their ethical credentials, so you won't find shops with an unknown pedigree.
You will find familiar shops, presented in traditional categories, but cleverly filtered so that their greener products rise to the surface. You won't find unsavoury offers, gambling or get rich quick schemes.
How It Works:
Ecomonkey classifies everything simply and neatly using an easy to understand traffic light rating scheme.
Navigating the site is easy peasy. Browse by retailer, brand or category or combine these with your search criteria. Then use the clever tag filters to narrow or expand your search. The greener products automatically rise to the top.
How green is that product? Check the little label tags: basically a green tag is best, but an orange tag is good too. A red tag, however, means the product is in the bottom half of all products and thus receives the lowest level of green points.
As for claiming rewards, iTunes and Amazon.co.uk gift certificates for starters, that is very easy too. But if you prefer, you can donate them to one of our favourite charities, or perhaps try a carbon offset from Climate Care.
If you are interested, we give a rating to the retailer and the brand too. If you need to know why we have given a particular brand or retailer a given rating, you can click on the relevant link.
And if want to deepen your research further, you can use our natty little "ethical corporate watch" search engine called greenspy.
If you are an old hand and already pretty green, then we hope you'll find the site useful too. In the weeks and months ahead we plan to turn on the community plumbing and start to create a mutually supportive community - though that maybe sounds a bit like an insurance product, we hope you know what we mean.

You can chose from thousands and thousands of products, thousands of brands and from hundreds of selected retailers - including many well-known high street names.
Before we enter into a relationship with a retailer we check out the their their ethical credentials, so you won't find shops with an unknown pedigree.
You will find familiar shops, presented in traditional categories, but cleverly filtered so that their greener products rise to the surface. You won't find unsavoury offers, gambling or get rich quick schemes.
How It Works:
Ecomonkey classifies everything simply and neatly using an easy to understand traffic light rating scheme.
Navigating the site is easy peasy. Browse by retailer, brand or category or combine these with your search criteria. Then use the clever tag filters to narrow or expand your search. The greener products automatically rise to the top.
How green is that product? Check the little label tags: basically a green tag is best, but an orange tag is good too. A red tag, however, means the product is in the bottom half of all products and thus receives the lowest level of green points.
As for claiming rewards, iTunes and Amazon.co.uk gift certificates for starters, that is very easy too. But if you prefer, you can donate them to one of our favourite charities, or perhaps try a carbon offset from Climate Care.
If you are interested, we give a rating to the retailer and the brand too. If you need to know why we have given a particular brand or retailer a given rating, you can click on the relevant link.
And if want to deepen your research further, you can use our natty little "ethical corporate watch" search engine called greenspy.
If you are an old hand and already pretty green, then we hope you'll find the site useful too. In the weeks and months ahead we plan to turn on the community plumbing and start to create a mutually supportive community - though that maybe sounds a bit like an insurance product, we hope you know what we mean.
