Organizations of all sizes — from agile entrepreneurial start-ups to established multinational enterprises — are discovering that effective protection from Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) is a critical priority. Without APT protection, organizations are vulnerable to potentially devastating attacks that could last for months or even years before they’re finally identified; let alone contained. By then, the damage could be done – and it could be permanent.
Free Seculert White Paper
In light of this, the experts at Seculert are pleased to provide the free white paper combating advanced persistent threats through detection. It features a clarifying discussion of why conventional malware analysis systems – which are typically comprised of firewalls, IPS, IDS and Secure Web Gateways — simply cannot keep up with today’s volume of new malware. Not only are these conventional malware analysis systems restricted by out-dated signatures, but they’re also limited by organizational appliance capacity (e.g. CPU, storage, etc.), which makes them unable to prevent all APT malware infections.
However, while there is no way to prevent 100% of APT malware infections, that doesn’t mean organizations should raise the white flag of surrender, or recoil in fear and hope that they aren’t victimized by an APT attack. Instead, as they’ll discover in the white paper, they simply need to implement a solution that shifts from prevention to detection.
Shifting from Prevention to Detection
A cloud-based post-infection detection leverages an elastic big data analytics environment to rapidly analyze vast amounts of traffic logs data – dating back months and even years — and compares it against unique malware profiling data sets. The result is a cost effective, scalable and automated system that goes beyond the infection vector, and allows organizations to easily detect if they’ve been a target of an Advanced Persistent Threat.
