ProtectWise Expands Capabilities Of Enterprise Security Platform With Next Generation, Deep File Analysis Solution
ProtectWise File DVR is the industry's only automated retrospective file analysis solution
DENVER, Feb. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ProtectWise, provider of the industry's first Cloud Network DVR for complete detection, visibility and response to enterprise threats, today announced the availability of ProtectWise™ File DVR, a powerful new approach to file analysis. Current file analysis solutions rely on blacklisting and whitelisting to identify malicious files, but struggle to keep pace with today's continually evolving threats. ProtectWise File DVR applies artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science capabilities to analyze the characteristics of suspicious files, in real-time and retrospectively, and as a result expedites forensic investigations and incident response.

The ProtectWise File DVR leverages the automated, continuous real-time and retrospective threat detection of full fidelity network traffic of the ProtectWise Cloud Network DVR and applies it to files. Using its latest threat intelligence and knowledge of new developments in the threat landscape, ProtectWise can discover malicious files that may have been previously unknown by analyzing historic file metadata automatically. This 'look back' capability reduces the dwell time of file-related threats on the network.
"We built our Cloud Network DVR as a way for organizations to store full fidelity network data, creating an accurate representation of the actors, applications and network traffic flowing across all network segments," said Ramon Peypoch, chief product officer at ProtectWise. "ProtectWise File DVR taps into that value provided by our Cloud Network DVR, and discovers malicious files that may have been previously unknown by analyzing historic file metadata automatically. As a result, security teams are freed up to focus on other, more critical projects."
Additional features of ProtectWise File DVR include:
- Complementary existing sandbox investments. It provides a full set of indicators of compromise (IOCs) and the option to integrate with sandboxing tools.
- Instantaneous deployment. As part of the extensible ProtectWise Enterprise Security Platform, File DVR is delivered as a value-added service. There is no new hardware or software to deploy, but simply requires turning the service on from within ProtectWise's Visualizer.
- Fast, intuitive search. Search your network haystack back three or six months to quickly determine if a file has previously been seen on the network.
ProtectWise File DVR relies on the latest threat intelligence and knowledge of new developments in the threat landscape to enable incident response teams to quickly identify, investigate and respond to malicious files. Learn more about ProtectWise File DVR by visiting the ProtectWise website.
