Threat Prevention
Active Protection Against Emerging Threats, 0-Day Attacks, C2 Activity, and APTs
Cyber attacks and data breaches continue to make the headlines on nearly a daily basis. Massive breaches have exposed proprietary and sensitive company data. Social media account takeovers are commonplace. Organizations, large and small, continue to be severely impacted by ransomware attacks and threat campaigns.
Challenge
Threat actors use evasive tactics to bypass security defenses, e.g., weaponizing shellcode to steal personal identifiable information (PII) from vulnerable targets, or luring users into clicking nefarious links to download malicious files - ultimately harvesting account credentials or financial information. This leads directly to financial and/or reputational losses. Most organizations are unaware of a threat actor's presence or malware that has breached their compute environment - leading to months, even years, of dangerous post-compromise dwell time.
Solution
FDR Threat Prevention is designed to provide protection against emerging threats, Zero-Day attacks, Command & Control (C2) activity, and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). It detects enterprise security threats that continue to evade legacy and traditional prevention systems. Multiple inspection and analytical techniques using patented Deep File Inspection (DFI) - powered by Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, daily curated threat intelligence, and a dedicated team of security researchers - to provide clear visibility of active threats cleverly disguised within data-in-motion.
The Advantages of FDR Threat Prevention
Full Visibility of Encrypted Traffic
Comprehensive real-time visibility, inline inspection through strategic integrations for all inbound and outbound encrypted traffic at speeds ranging from megabits per second to multi-gigabits per second, leveraging patented Deep File Inspection (DFI) to detect and analyze web-borne threats and malware lurking in the traffic to determine the nature of the threat.
Deep File Inspection (DFI)
High-throughput DFI capability processes a magnitude of files to automate the work of SOC analysts. DFI dissects common carriers to expose embedded logic (macros, scripts, applets), semantic context, and metadata (e.g. author, edit time, page count).
Automated Static Analysis
Our solution performs high throughput static analysis, leveraging our Deep File Inspection (DFI) which involves inspecting files and determining the nature of the threat without executing the code. It performs dissection, unwrapping and unpacking of the embedded content and classifies files to support real-time, high-volume applications.
Zero-Day Attack Coverage
InQuest leverages partnerships, in-house capabilities, and third-party tools to build a comprehensive context of potential threats passing through protected network boundaries which provides protection against sophisticated attack techniques targeting publicly unknown vulnerabilities. Coverage for these attacks is delivered via automated updates and feeds to ensure continuous protection of client infrastructure around the clock ultimately allowing rapid detection, triage, and remediation of network threats.
Unique Threat Intelligence
Our platform leverages an automated decision-making engine to discover threats. It reduces the amount of time spent performing manual threat research, which empowers your security operations and improves your ability to predict, detect, and hunt potential evasions. Threat hunters can quickly respond to emerging threats targeting your organization through the use of our threat intelligence services, which acquires, analyzes, and incorporates threat intelligence information from hundreds of public, private, and internal sources.
