Zero-Day Threat Protection

Zero-Day Threat Protection's multi-behavioral approach to detecting and removing malicious programs blocks complex attacks even before signatures and patches have been developed.

Zero-Day Threat Protection is quickly becoming an essential tool in the fight against malware.

It guards against entire families of threats - some of which may not be previously known – by continuously scanning a computer’s files, processes and applications for unusual behavior, then immediately and safely quarantining suspicious activity.

Protection against fast-moving attacks

Signature-based technologies are limited in the types of attacks they protect against, focusing solely on known viruses or worms. Signatures have to be developed for each individual component of an attack, making it nearly impossible to protect against new attacks, variants of existing attacks or targeted attacks.

Unlike signature-based applications, Fiberlink Zero-Day Threat Protection offers a new layer of security technology to prevent even the most complex and unpredictable attacks. This service includes:

• Kernel-level immunity against a broad set of known and unknown malware, including Internet worms, Trojans, keyloggers, bots, silent backdoors and rootkits.
• An added layer of protection for applications and systems, complementing existing anti-virus packages and personal firewalls.
• Real-time operation that can significantly reduce the need for “panic patching.”

Complete remediation of malicious software

Signature-based virus removal methods are unable to handle complex malware programs, which can hide, morph and re-install themselves.

Fiberlink Zero-Day Threat Protection uses a multi-behavioral approach to detect and remove malicious programs. By constantly monitoring PC behavior, Zero-Day Threat Protection examines how the file, executable or code acts, identifying bad behavior characteristics to determine if a program is malicious.

The quarantining process starts as soon as an attack is detected, so that malicious software is completely isolated from the memory and file systems, ensuring that there is no collateral damage or residual effects on the computer.

By removing all traces of malware, malicious software is prevented from propagating or installing additional components that can be hard to eradicate.
