Webroot FlowScape Analytics

Webroot has integrated FlowScape Analytics with Webroot BrightCloud® Threat Intelligence to significantly accelerate the discovery and investigation of unknown threats that access, traverse, and exit today’s disparate networks. The FlowScape solution analyzes different traffic types and behaviors within the network, as well as inbound and outbound traffic, to supply security operations teams with highly accurate data to quickly identify anomalous network traffic from unknown threats. Combined with BrightCloud Threat Intelligence, FlowScape Analytics provides contextual threat intelligence on malicious IPs and URLs with network visibility for incident response teams to investigate threats and devise mitigation plans. As malware is now overwhelmingly polymorphic and advanced persistent threats (APTs) mask their activities within everyday network noise, FlowScape analytics and unsupervised machine learning enable organizations to further reduce the time required to classify and address threats.

Webroot BrightCloud Streaming Malware Detection

To further address the challenges of unknown polymorphic malware, as well as targeted malware in general, Webroot has developed BrightCloud Streaming Malware Detection, which enables organizations to detect malicious files in transit at the network edge in real time. This innovative solution places advanced machine learning models directly on perimeter security appliances to make extremely fast and accurate determinations on files without needing to download them in their entirety. The technology makes determinations on files at a rate of over 5,700 files per minute – over 500 times faster than network sandboxing. Users determine the threshold at which files are blocked or routed for further investigation, helping to focus limited resources on the most pressing threats. BrightCloud Streaming Malware Detection complements network security devices to identify and eliminate malicious files before they infiltrate the network and have the chance to spread or mutate internally.

Webroot SecureAnywhere DNS Protection

Providing organizations with protection from malicious websites, Webroot has introduced SecureAnywhere DNS Protection, a domain name resolution service. Leveraging the Webroot BrightCloud Web Classification, Web Reputation, and IP Reputation Services, SecureAnywhere DNS Protection defends devices at the most basic level of internet communication, the Domain Name System (DNS). Tightly integrated with Webroot SecureAnywhere endpoint security, SecureAnywhere DNS Protection provides robust protection against malicious sites with minimal complexity for the service provider, device manufacturer, and end consumer. With continuous updates to the classification database, SecureAnywhere DNS Protection covers the highest volume of domains with the most accurate classification, ensuring greater coverage and lower support costs.

Availability:

The FlowScape solution is available for custom integration and evaluation as part of an early availability program. BrightCloud Streaming Malware Detection is available for Beta technology partners with general availability scheduled for mid-2017. Webroot SecureAnywhere DNS Protection is Beta currently and scheduled for GA release in April 2017.
