To deal with the threats of identity and information thefts, the enterprises need to invest in the right kind of Malware Protection Systems, or “MPS.” FireEye (News - Alert), Inc., which is a well known provider of Malware Protection solutions, has come up with a line of inline network security appliances that are rightly equipped to fight against the new generation malware attacks. FireEye MPS are capable of stopping the 90 percent of these attacks that traditional intrusion prevention, Web filtering and antivirus products miss.

With the help of its fully integrated, inbound and outbound malware blocking defense, Malware-VM filter and a multi-protocol Malware-Callback filter, FireEye MPS appliances mitigate both broad type and targeted modern Malware attacks. In the process, it helps reduce IT operational costs by delivering the most comprehensive and accurate detection of attacks at near-zero false positive rates, with near-zero latency.

The solution is delivered in an easy-to-deploy appliance form factor and can be integrated into the network without the need for additional tuning.

Here is the mechanism through which, FireEye protects its customers from Malware attacks.

By breaking the Modern Malware infection lifecycle in all of its phases, FireEye’s integrated Malware Protection System ensures that the customers are immune from any future attacks. This helps it protect the customers from both broad and targeted information theft.

The new FireEye network security appliances block both targeted attacks and transmissions by existing Malware infections based upon local network malware analysis and global data from the FireEye MAX Cloud Intelligence network.

The FireEye MPS appliances use a patent-pending, real-time Malware-VM filter to accurately detect and stop zero-hour, signature-evading Malware and targeted attacks, which often are embedded in Web, PDF, and other online content.

The Malware-VM filter analyzes for zero-hour Malware using virtual machines that run a cross-matrix of operating systems and endpoint software, such as various web browser software stacks, to block attacks aimed at known and unknown OS and application vulnerabilities.

FireEye’s solution also incorporates a multi-protocol Malware-Callback filter to block outbound callbacks stopping data exfiltration attacks that signature and list-based defenses miss.

Strengthening of their network defense has become crucial for the survival of today’s businesses. In this situation, FireEye provides powerful weapon to the enterprises, in dealing with various forms of modern malware attacks.

“By deploying next generation threat protection inline, IT departments can finally stop the Modern Malware attacks ending the risk to sensitive data. FireEye's integrated approach enables the most comprehensive protection against Modern Malware that attacks across multiple protocols preventing cybercrime, cyber espionage, and cyber reconnaissance attempts,” said Ashar Aziz, founder and CEO of FireEye, while explaining the relevance of FireEye in this age of increasing cyber crime.
