In the past, the security protection model that most organizations applied to protect their infrastructure was simply the "Everything but the Kitchen Sink" model—meaning, add devices that protect the enterprise network perimeter (Trusted Zone), add devices that protect your mobile device, add devices that protect your data base., and on, and on .... In essence, this model simply amounted...
Malware polymorphic and metamorphic obfuscation techniques combined with so-called "sandboxing evasion techniques" continue to erode the effectiveness of both static detection (signature matching), and dynamic detection (sandboxing). Specifically, signature based techniques are overwhelmed by the sheer number of samples generated from a single seminal binary through the use of polymorphic...
The objective of Malicious Remote Code Execution Exploits is to remotely execute code transparently to the user, and without relying on user interaction, in order to infect targeted machines. This comparative study examines the effectiveness of different proactive exploit mitigation technologies included in popular endpoint security products and specialized anti-exploit tools. The study focuses on...
In the past, several methods have been used to select Malware attack samples, the so-called Stimulus Workload (SW), used in Malware-detection tests of endpoint security products. For example, in the selection process one must be aware that amongst the samples selected, some pose a greater threat to users than others as they are more widespread and hence are more likely to affect a user. Some may target...
Traditionally, the protection provided by 3rd party anti-Malware endpoint security products is measured using a sample set that is representative of the prevalent universe of attacks at that point in time (malicious URLs and/or malicious files in the world). The methodology used for such a selection of the Malware attack samples, the so-called Stimulus Workload (SW), has been a matter of controversy...
Traditionally, dynamic detection approaches to Malware identification are commended for their simplicity and small sized signature database. In practice they suffer from two major defects. First, Malware might need to be emulated for a long time before traces of harmful behavior are first exhibited. Second, a few Anti-VM techniques are widely known and can be easily employed by any program to thwart...
Increasingly the idea that cyber-attacks can be stopped at the periphery of the network has become a fool's errand. In today's computing environment and cyber-threat landscape, individuals as well as corporations have recognized the fact that (i) with the emergence of cloud based computing there are no longer network boundaries under your control that can be protected, (ii) threats are often distributed...
