Damballa Failsafe 5.0 is the most comprehensive, purpose-built solution
for detecting and terminating hidden cyber threats in corporate
networks. Damballa Failsafe hunts for undetected threats by correlating
a variety of observed network behaviors to identify malware-infections
on any type of server or endpoint device including PCs, Macs, Unix,
iPads, smartphones and embedded systems. Damballa Failsafe 5.0 now
includes automated
malware analysis in its advanced threat detection capabilities. The
new features inspect unknown, zero-day and targeted malware, identifying
changes the malware would make to the targeted device and the malware’s
intended communications.
“Our ability to correlate multiple behavioral indicators to rapidly and
accurately pinpoint hidden infections is unequaled in the market,” said
Stephen Newman, vice president of product management for Damballa. “Due
to the automated nature of our solution and the speed at which we detect
advanced threats, our customers are reducing the cost of their overall
detection and remediation efforts while responding quickly and
effectively to network threats as they emerge.”
