F-Secure has launched a comprehensive online tool for everybody interested in
understanding the world virus situation at a glance.
The resource, which was developed for research purposes at F-Secure is now available
to the general public in four languages, respectively English, French, German
and Finnish.
English:
http://worldmap.f-secure.com/vwweb_1_2/en/
French:
http://worldmap.f-secure.com/vwweb_1_2/fr/
German:
http://worldmap.f-secure.com/vwweb_1_2/de/
Finnish:
http://worldmap.f-secure.com/vwweb_1_2/fi/
Visitors to the above addresses will first see the full world map situation but
will quickly be able to drill down for information based on a geographical area
or country.
Colour representations of infection levels from quiet to epidemic give the viewer
an immediate overview of a country or region. Another measure enables the viewer
to understand virus alert levels from an overall global perspective.
Related graphs and statistics help users to understand the broader context of
the infection based upon time lines ranging from the last hour to the last year
as well as a breakdown of the viruses in question.
Speaking about the new resource, Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Officer at F-Secure
said:"The world virus map is an excellent resource for quickly understanding the
virus situation at any given time. For anybody interested in understanding the
'bigger picture' behind a virus in the news and charting its course, this is a
good place to start."
