Breakthrough Malware Detection System

Enterprises must reduce the risk of cyber threats to protect critical data and operational assets. Intellectual property, confidential information, trade secrets, financial data, and money are being stolen at increasing rates. New malicious code is introduced daily into networks through the Internet and insider threats. Studies prove that commercial anti-virus and traditional host intrusion detection systems don’t detect 80% of new malware, especially new variants, polymorphic code, and malware that resides only in memory or hides using rootkits.

Digital DNA is a revolutionary technology to detect advanced computer security threats within physical memory without relying on the Windows operating system which cannot be trusted. All software modules residing in memory are identified and ranked by level of Severity. The Digital DNA Sequence appears as a series of Trait codes that when concatenated together describe the behaviors of each software module.

The screenshots below show threat Severity and a partial list of Traits related to an example module called iimo.sys.

Ranking Software Modules by Threat Severity using DDNA

Software Behavioral Traits

Observed behavioral Traits are matched against HBGary’s “Malware Genome” database to classify digital objects as good, bad or neutral. Rules and weighting are applied to compute the overall Severity score. Users can see the underlying Trait descriptions to gain fast insight into software behaviors.

Ultimately, any network can and will be compromised. Digital DNA is your last line of defense in a defense-in-depth strategy. Reduce risk by quickly detecting new threats that are bypassing your existing security infrastructure.
