SHADE Sandbox

Secure Malware Analytics (formerly Threat Grid) combines advanced sandboxing with threat intelligence into one unified solution to protect organizations from malware. With a robust, context-rich malware knowledge base, you will understand what malware is doing, or attempting to do, how large a threat it poses, and how to defend against it. Secure Malware Analytics rapidly analyzes files and suspicious behavior across your environment. Your security teams get context-rich malware analytics and threat intelligence, so they’re armed with insight into what a file is doing and can quickly respond to threats. Secure Malware Analytics analyzes the behavior of a file against millions of samples and billions of malware artifacts. Secure Malware Analytics identifies key behavioral indicators of malware and their associated campaigns. Take advantage of Secure Malware Analytics's robust search capabilities, correlations, and detailed static and dynamic analyses.

Unlike previous generation of viruses that were non-sophisticated and low in volume, antivirus tools were sufficient to provide reasonable protection with their database of signatures. However, today’s modern malware entails new techniques such as use of exploits. Exploiting a vulnerability in a legitimate application can cause anomalous behavior and it’s this behavior that attackers take advantage of to compromise computer systems. The process of an attack by exploiting an unknown software vulnerability is what is known as a zero-day attack aka 0-day attack, and before sandboxing there was no effective means to stop it. A malware sandbox, within the computer security context, is a system that confines the actions of an application, such as opening a Word document, to an isolated environment. Within this safe environment the sandbox analyzes the dynamic behavior of an object and its various application interactions in a pseudo-user environment and uncovers any malicious intent.
