Check Point CPU Level Threat Prevention

Zero day and unknown Malware are extremely sophisticated threats, undetectable by traditional anti-virus engines.

Zero day and unknown Malware are extremely sophisticated threats, undetectable by traditional anti-virus engines. Sandboxing techniques are being used to detect these advanced threats, looking for malicious activities at the OS (operating system) once the Malware is active.

Traditional Sandboxing technology is very effective….but not enough anymore!

Advanced hackers design new evasion techniques to stay undetected. This gap can be addressed by detecting one step before the computer gets infected at the exploitation stage. Hackers exploit software vulnerabilities at the CPU level. There are several exploitation methods, but the most popular one is ROP (Return-oriented programming).

What is ROP?

ROP is a computer security exploit technique that allows an attacker to execute code in the presence of security defenses such as non-executable memory and code signing. In this technique, an attacker gains control of the call stack to hijack program control flow and then executes carefully chosen machine instruction sequences, called “gadgets”. Each gadget typically ends in a return instruction and is located in a subroutine within the existing program and/or shared library code. Chained together, these gadgets allow an attacker to perform arbitrary operations on a machine employing defenses that prevent simpler attacks.

When opening a malicious document ROP hijacks small pieces of legitimate code from the memory and manipulates the CPU to load and execute the actual Malware. Detecting this manipulation at the CPU level is the key to stopping attacks before they even happen.

Check Point Next Generation Zero Day Protection is the only Sandboxing solution that both integrates OS & CPU Level Threat Prevention engines, eliminating threats at the point pre-infection and increasing Malware catch rate. It is operating system agnostic technology and is resilient to sandboxing evasion techniques.

And most importantly the First True Zero Day Detection Engine as it stops whatever Malware would be downloaded and executed.

Analysis

Protecting your network from cyberthreats may seem completely obvious in this day and age. However, it's all too easy to assume that you have the right level of network security, when in fact you do not. This is why we always begin with a thorough assessment, providing a full audit of your existing cyberthreat measures. We then deifne the network areas, servers - and of course individual users that need protection - and at what level.

Protection and Management

The scoping document includes a breakdown of circuits such as DSL, EFM and leased line. A full breakdown of costs is included as well as an SLA covering each area. Importantly, we also highlight any potential limitations caused by bandwidth and/or QoS.
