Cloud-Based Sandbox Service
A cloud-based sandbox service environment offers dynamic scalability without loss of performance, while also enabling the vendor more proactive maintenance options.
The Challenge
Attackers are constantly developing techniques and ways of navigating past ‘traditional’ security systems and especially signature based detection.
Defending against these threats demands a different approach.
Features & Benefits
> Proactive threat intelligence and security professionals
> Security vendor constantly updates their sandbox to stay ahead of malware authors.
> Security researchers are based around the world, providing 24x7 round-the-clock malware analysis.
> Free of hardware limitations, and therefore scalable and elastic.
> Dedicated service and resource to tracking malware over a period of hours or days - instead of seconds or minutes - to build more robust malware profiles of targeted threats.
> Uncover “Time Bomb” attacks that need to be simulated with custom times and dates (such as Shamoon)
The sandbox environment consists of various operating system simulators that execute suspicious programs based on lists of activities and attributes.
New viruses and variants are examined to provide accurate detection, reduce false positives and discover new evasion techniques. When these techniques are discovered, researchers work side by side with other industry security and network vendors to develop to build in the appropriate technology to defeat new evasion techniques.
Test From the Cloud
- Network diagnostics captured virtually anywhere.
- Simulate various protocols and applications in a distributed network across thousands of endpoints.
- Measures device performance over Wi-Fi
- Validates hypervisor performance
