Anti-Malware Protection & Prevention Services

Malware is Constantly Evolving

New generation malware can silently infect the end user, stealing account credentials unnoticed or silently hijacking secure sessions. Criminals are constantly changing their malware techniques, which makes reliance on endpoint malware detection, prevention and protection alone futile. Successful malware protection services must address the following capabilities:

• A decreasing quantity of signature-based detection rates
• An increasing number of Malware families, with many emerging variants and generations (ZeuS trojan, Spyeye etc)
• The ability to quickly detect the Malware
• An increased level of advancement and sophistication on the part of criminals
• The possibility of zero day attacks
• The exploitation of endpoint vulnerabilities, such as blended threats, multiple injection points and vectors

When you couple these threats with the fact that end users are increasingly relying on multiple devices that are outside your control, it’s not hard to see why malware has become such a predominant threat across the business community.

Common behaviour for a Malware attack

Stage 1 – the infection

In order to infiltrate the customer, the criminal will design and deploy their software package to be downloaded by the consumer by wrapping it inside of something that resembles legitimate software for a known or common brand.

Stage 2 – command & control

As the attack evolves or the criminals attempts to evade detection or removal, they make use of centralised command centres to re-route the destination of the information they are harvesting.

Stage 3 – the drop-zone

The net result of this whole activity for the criminal is the successful acquisition of personal or financial details they have harvested during the attack. The drop-zone is the location that all of this data is routed to. There are often multiple drop-zones to avoid detection or mitigate losses from their detection or removal.
