MALWARE DETECTION & PREVENTION CHALLENGES

Malware (short for “malicious software”) detection includes various types of threats: viruses, ransomware, spyware, worms, trojans, keyloggers, and many more.

The most common ways for malware to be transported are in files and URLs.

Malware detection and protection are becoming an increasingly complex problem to solve.

The complexity is hundreds of millions of new malware variants created every year, the increased use of advanced malware, the combination of several techniques, employing evasion techniques, and the proliferation of content sharing platforms.

Legacy solutions all fall in at least one of these challenges, leaving end-users exposed to malware attacks on a daily basis.

Although this sounds impossible, Perception Point has identified a common factor in all malware-based attacks. 

Our Anti-Malware Detection Engines

Perception Point tackles malware detection by dividing it into two types:

everyday
adfvanced malware

Perception Point developed next-gen static and dynamic engines that detect and prevent any attempt to deliver malware.

These dynamic and static engines are be broken up into several elements: In the front line stands the Recursive Unpacker which extracts all files and URLs transferred, thus uncovering and thwarting evasion techniques.

Next is the Threat Intelligence layer – The best-in-class intelligence sources coupled with internally developed engines scans all content to identify any “known” malware.

Following the threat intelligence, is a stack of the leading Anti-virus engines in the world in addition to Perception Point’s Signature Analysis engines for highly complex malware.

The last piece of the “Everyday Malware” stack, is Perception Point’s phishing engines which use in-house build image recognition capabilities to prevent any type of URL based malware delivery.

New, sophisticated malware attacks all rely on the usage of an exploitation technique.

This means that prior to any advanced malware release, the attacker will try to use an exploit to set the ground ready for installing one of any millions of malware options he has in his hands.

Perception Point knows how attackers think. This is why we invented the HAP – a proprietary next-gen dynamic engine that has visibility into the exploit level.

In other words, instead of chasing the many malware out there, we “cut off the root” and prevent the malware from even being delivered, not to mention from running.

Customers love us.
