A trio of cybersecurity groups launched a new initiative Tuesday to combat malicious software known as malware by establishing a “chain of trust” among all organizations and individuals that play a role in securing the Internet. The project developed by the Anti-Spyware Coalition, National Cyber Security Alliance and StopBadware.org will link together security vendors, researchers, government agencies, Web firms, network providers, advocacy and education groups in a systemic effort to stem the rising tide of malware, officials said in a press release. By creating a united front against the threat, the chain of trust will apply many of the same approaches used to bring nuisance adware under control, they said.
