MCLEAN, Va., July 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CYREN (NASDAQ:
CYRN) today announced the launch of its CYREN Next Generation
Sandbox service. The new service is a key element in the industry's
first complete cloud-based global Web and messaging protection
framework that CYREN will release later this year.
The CYREN Next Generation Sandbox service is unique in its
ability to harness the power of automated, multi-layered sandboxing
capabilities that rely on global cyber intelligence instead of
traditional human analysis or reactive procedures initiated due to
customer infection or attack.
The multi-tenant service automates threat analysis on a
mass-scale through a vast array of cloud-based sandboxes. It uses
proprietary heuristic logic to direct potential threats through
multiple sandboxes, changing the item's reputation score as it
progresses. A fully automated process chooses the best environment
to analyze malware samples according to extracted features while
another process is responsible for ensuring optimal execution of
the analysis and redirecting to better suited environments as
needed. Once an item is proven to be a threat, the CYREN global
cyber intelligence platform is instantaneously updated and CYREN
users are proactively protected against that threat.
"Today's advanced attacks can easily fool traditional sandboxes,
allowing the bad guys to consistently break through," said
Lior Kohavi, Chief Technology
Officer at CYREN. "The industry needs a wakeup call. One sandbox is
not enough anymore, and one type of logic won't make a difference.
What is needed is a completely automated and orchestrated framework
that utilizes multiple sandbox capabilities in an adaptive way.
This new CYREN service is the next generation of sandboxing."
Lior continued, "CYREN has built unique logic to decide what to
do with suspicious resources – before the threats contained within
can ever affect a single CYREN customer. No other security vendor
is able to do this. The CYREN Next Generation Sandbox is a true
first for the industry, as it enables the complete automation of a
proactive threat discovery and remediation process. This means that
CYREN can consistently identify and protect against more new and
unknown threats sooner than any other security vendor."
The new service is immediately available as an add-on module
within the CYREN WebSecurity platform, which already offers the
most robust security for protecting business devices and data,
regardless of type or location.
Features of the CYREN Smart Sandbox service include:
- High Availability – Mass-scale dynamic malware and threat
analysis.
- Multi-Layered Dynamic Analysis – Malware is executed repeatedly
in various environments (physical and virtual machines) and several
sandbox engines that perform actions on a standard physical machine
while simulating user activity such as mouse movement, application
launching and keyboard typing.
- Advanced Behavior Analysis – Malware execution continues until
a satisfactory degree of behavioral data is extracted. The logic is
fully automated and saves a security analyst the time and trouble
to identify the best analysis conditions, including OS, end-point
apps, network modules, perimeter services, etc.
- Decoupled Sandbox Framework – The generated behavioral report
is generified to enable automated conclusion making, regardless of
which sandbox engine generated the report.
- Industry-leading detection heuristics – Focuses on both network
activity & OS level.
- Severity Level Calculation – Using multiple proprietary
heuristic rule engines, a total risk level of analyzed files is
accumulated, providing a detailed scoreboard for each of the
reported anomalous behaviors.
- Multi-Tenancy – Research analysts can safely run sensitive
files without risking privacy compromise.
- Advanced Sandboxing for Mobile – Automated analysis with
physical mobile devices.
- RESTFul API with RSS-enabled client to receive asynchronous
notifications for subscribed events.
