Cyber-crime is projected to exceed $2 trillion by 2019 and malware is the primary culprit in many of these security breaches. Today’s malware has become so sophisticated that it can detect and outsmart “next generation” security systems, including those with the latest sandbox appliances, firewalls, and IPS. Unlike those other technologies, Last line defeats the most advanced and evasive malware and leads the industry with its unmatched malware detection solution that protects your enterprise networks from cyber attacks.
The company is focused on real-time analysis of advanced malware and knowing the Internet’s malicious infrastructure. Last line leverages this threat intelligence to create advanced malware defenses for companies of all sizes.By focusing on cloud-based automated systems and processes, Last line has developed the technology to analyze advanced malware at an unprecedented speed and volume. This gives it the ability to analyze binaries and web content in real-time as it enters the Enterprise network, as well as the ability to map the Malscape at a level of accuracy and relevance not previously available Its team analyzes new security threats, vulnerabilities and hacking techniques as well as the evolution, proliferation and impact of advanced malware. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, the team consists of over 30 expert scientists and engineers throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Today’s sophisticated malware is a major culprit in many of these rampant cyber security incidents. Enterprise networks are vulnerable to the latest malware because it has been engineered to determine when it is executing within a traditional “sandbox” or isolated environment, designed specifically to identify malicious code.When evasive malware discovers it’s under evaluation, it performs only benign behavior and avoids detection from conventional sandbox appliances and “next generation” firewalls and IPS.However, a traditional sandbox cannot see what the malware is doing internally, nor can it discern what the operating system does when called upon by the malware.
This limited visibility greatly hinders a traditional sandbox’s capacity to identify today’s advanced malware.
A conventional sandbox is unable to monitor or detect a range of malware actions, including:
• Malicious code or behavior that hasn’t executed yet
• Malicious code unless that code executes and calls the operating system
• Malicious code executed by a rootkit within the operating system
• Sleep evasions if performed inside the malware itself
• Evasive code awaiting user action
• Encrypted malicious code
• Any evasive code waiting to call command and control centers, inject code into other applications, or move laterally within the network.
