The three founders, Dr. Neil Daswani, previously Google's security product manager, software engineer Shariq Rizvi and former consultant Ameet Ranadive, claim that their cloud-based Web Anti-Malware service monitors and diagnoses any malware infections, and helps businesses address them, before their site is blacklisted by legitimate companies."In the last two years, we've seen a fundamental shift in the way malware is spread," said Dasient co-founder Daswani.
