ESET與谷歌(Google)合作阻止危險惡意軟件

國際資安大廠ESET為全球企業與個人用戶的電腦資訊安全軟件提供商，於10月16日推出Chrome Cleanup，這是一款用於Google Chrome的新型scanner和cleaner，旨在幫助用戶更安全瀏覽網頁。 Chrome Cleanup適用於在Windows平台上的所有Google Chrome使用者。

隨著網路攻擊變得越來越複雜和難以發現，瀏覽網頁可能會導致用戶遇到危險的網站，ESET推出的Chrome Cleanup可以避免惡意軟件安裝至設備上。

Chrome Cleanup會在檢測到不必要的軟件時，提醒Google Chrome用戶潛在的威脅並提供刪除該軟件的選項給用戶，Chrome Cleanup於後台運行，完成軟件刪除時也會通知用戶。


ESET首席技術長Juraj Malcho說：“使用網路對於每個人來說都應該是一個平穩和安全的體驗。 “三十年來，ESET開發了許多安全解決方案，使用戶能夠安全地享受技術和減輕各種網路威脅。 Chrome Cleanup解決了可能對網路用戶體驗產生負面影響的惡意軟件。“

※Chrome Cleanup已包含在最新版本的Google Chrome中。

GREYCORTEX MENDEL DETECTS BADRABBIT

GREYCORTEX is happy to report that it is able to detect the BadRabbit ransomware. This ransomware appeared in Eastern Europe (Russia, Ukraine) but has begun to spread across several countries including South Korea, Poland, the Baltic, and regions. It uses an NSA-based exploit known as “EternalRomance” to enter networks and spreads by SMB port.

MENDEL is able to detect this ransomware in two different ways:

  • MENDEL’s integrated ruleset includes a rule specifically detecting the BadRabbit ransomware.
  • Independent from this IDS rule, MENDEL’s advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning detects the ransomware’s anomalous port sweep activity.

This detection capability demonstrates that MENDEL can identify unknown threats before rules are created in rules-based security tools. MENDEL provides network security teams vital extra time to protect their networks.

GREYCORTEX WINS IN POLAND

The success continues for GREYCORTEX. This time, the team was first overall at the Pitch Competition at the 3rd Annual European Cybersecurity Forum held in Krakow, Poland on October 10th and 11th, 2017. The event featured cybersecurity-focused speakers from government and industry across Europe, as well as several from North America.
The Pitch Competition, held on Monday afternoon, as part of the Forum, featured 16 companies from Central and Eastern Europe. As winners, GREYCORTEX received the chance to present MENDEL on the main conference stage to a full audience. The pitch presentation itself focused on the overall costs of data breach – not only in data loss – but in lost business reputation, opportunity, and brand value, demonstrating GREYCORTEX MENDEL’s ability to detect advanced persistent threats in the network, as well as it’s founding – with generous support from YSoft Ventures – and its membership in the ESET Technology Alliance.

MENDEL 2.8 RELEASED

We are happy to announce the latest version of GREYCORTEX MENDEL. Version 2.8 includes three new important features: the first is the Event Collector. Released as part of v2.7 (a limited release), the Event Collector offers the opportunity to centrally monitor events from several remote GREYCORTEX MENDEL collectors. The second major new feature is the Correlation Engine. This tool correlates individual, less-serious events – which together may be indicative of attacks within the network, to more effectively alert security analysts. Finally, MENDEL 2.8 includes proxy pairing functionality which identifies source or destination addresses hidden by proxy servers, which will allow security analysts to better identify potential issues on the network and provide even greater visibility.

New Features

  • Added a beta version of the Correlation Engine, including seven tuned rules which further increase security (The feature may be turned on by going to Settings->System Components)
  • Added a proxy pairing feature to display source or destination addresses hidden by a proxy server
