Malware detection and McAfee

Advanced

Threat Defense

Over the years, malware has evolved into a sophisticated tool for malicious activities such as stealing

valuable information, accessing your computer resources without your knowledge, and for disrupting

business operations. At the same time, technological advancement provides limitless options to deliver

malicious files to unsuspecting users. Hundreds of thousands of new malware variants every day make

the job of malware detection even more complex. Traditional anti-malware techniques are no longer

sufficient to protect your network.

McAfee's response to this challenge is the McAfee Advanced Threat Defense solution. This is an

on-premise Appliance that facilitates detection and prevention of malware. McAfee Advanced Threat

Defense provides protection from known, near-zero day, and zero-day malware without compromising

on the quality of service to your network users.

McAfee Advanced Threat Defense has the added advantage of being an integrated solution. In addition

to its own multi-level threat detection capabilities, its ability to seamlessly integrate with other McAfee

security products, protects your network against malware and other Advanced Persistent Threats

(APTs).

The malware threat scenario

Any software capable of being involved in hostile activities with respect to a computer, application, or

network can be termed as malware. McAfee Advanced Threat Defense is designed for detecting

file-based malware.

Earlier, users received malware as attachments in their emails. With the upsurge in Internet

applications, users only need to click a link to download files. Today, there are many other options to

post such files — blogs, social networking sites, web sites, chat messages, web mails, message

boards, and so on. The key challenges in tackling this issue are to detect malware in the shortest

possible time and also contain it from spreading to other computers.

There are four major aspects to an anti-malware strategy:

• Detection of file downloads: When a user attempts to download a file from an external resource,

your security product must be able to detect it.

• Analysis of the file for malware: You must be able to verify if the file contains any known malware.
