¶ Overview of Malware Detection
Malware detection involves inspecting computer systems or networks to identify harmful software and files. Traditionally, security solutions achieve this by matching known malware signatures and observing software behavior for suspicious activities. Malware can manipulate systems using sophisticated techniques to avoid detection. Exium’s XDR360 employs a comprehensive approach to counteract these evasion strategies, identifying harmful files and unusual patterns that might suggest the presence of malware.
¶ XDR360’s Integrated Malware Detection Capabilities
|
|
Capability |
Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | File Integrity Monitoring Integration: | While the File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) module in XDR360 independently doesn’t detect malicious files, it plays a crucial role in a broader malware detection strategy. By integrating FIM events with advanced threat detection rules and intelligence sources, such as VirusTotal and CDB lists, XDR360 efficiently identifies malware. This integration utilizes file hashes and YARA scans to effectively detect and mitigate malicious threats on endpoints. |
| 2 | Rootkit Detection with Rootcheck: | The Rootcheck module within XDR360 provides robust monitoring against rootkit behaviors. It offers continuous surveillance of endpoints, generating alerts upon detecting anomalies. This real-time anomaly monitoring is crucial for identifying malware that traditional signature-based techniques might overlook. Additionally, Rootcheck uses known signatures of rootkits and trojans, and its flexibility allows users to update these signatures, keeping up with evolving threats. |
| 3 | Log Collection and Analysis: | XDR360 extends its capabilities by collecting and analyzing logs from third-party malware detection solutions, such as Windows Defender and other AV/EDR tools. This comprehensive log collection from various software solutions enhances XDR360's ability to provide a holistic view of malware threats across the organization, ensuring comprehensive protection. |
