Comodo offers companies free forensic analysis to fight zero-day malware

Because it isn't detected by traditional, signature based anti-virus solutions, zero-day malware has the potential to wreak havoc in businesses of all sizes.

Cyber security company Comodo is launching a new, free forensic analysis service to help enterprises discover previously unknown and undetected malware that could cause serious security issues or data breaches.

"Underpinned by Comodo's industry-leading Default Deny Platform, this is the only forensic analysis that can examine 100 percent of all files, including unknown ones, and determine if they are good or bad," says John Peterson, vice president and general manager, Comodo Enterprise. "We are offering this forensic analysis free to businesses, to help them uncover unknown malware in their environments and see for themselves the power of Comodo's default deny technology".

Comodo's technology prevents unknown files from executing with automatic containment and a complete forensic analysis resulting in a good or bad verdict on every file. This allows it to classify 100 percent of files as good or bad, without any unknowns, including previously undiscovered malware.

The Default Deny Platform uses a two-step approach, it benefits from Comodo's position as number one provider of internet security certificates, which gives it unrivalled visibility into known good and bad software to dramatically speed up the analysis process. Second, any unknown files are escalated to Valkyrie, the company's cloud-based file analysis tool, which delivers a rapid verdict on whether the file is good or bad with no assumptions. A unique aspect of Valkyrie is that it combines automatic static and dynamic file analysis supported by human intelligence when needed for a full forensic analysis of all files, ensuring 100 percent of unknown files are correctly identified.
