Boost Network Security with Malware Protection

Malware attacks are one of the greatest threats to an organization’s cybersecurity. That’s why Malware Protection is a must-have for companies to stay safe on the web.

Essential Security From Internet Threats

Online attacks are becoming more sophisticated each day as hacking attempts continue to evolve. Over the past few decades, malware has advanced beyond worms and viruses to include ransomware, trojans, spyware, and other damaging variants. IT admins know how quickly malware can propagate throughout a network with the potential to damage systems, cause data breaches, and decrease performance and productivity.

Harmony SASE malware protection is built into our Secure Internet Access offering. It enables IT teams to secure their organization from dangerous threats by scanning web-delivered content including file downloads and web page components before they reach the browser. This protects employees from malware threats embedded in websites and harmful files downloaded to a device.

How It Works

Malware protection inspects all user web traffic whether over HTTP or HTTPS such as file downloads, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and more for potentially harmful content. When malicious content is detected, it is blocked from reaching the browser, thus preventing infection and breach of the user device. Harmony SASE employs a combination of continuously updated signature-based detection, which ensures up-to-date protection, along with heuristics and machine learning-based analyses to detect and prevent advanced polymorphic malware and zero-day attacks.

It also has the unique advantage of being able to protect users whether they’re connected to the corporate network or accessing the Internet directly. When malicious content is detected and blocked, a notification will be presented to the user with information about the threat.

Keeping Track with Malware Activity Dashboard

Monitoring and tracking network activity is crucial for day-to-day security, and malware monitoring is no different. With Malware Protection, admins can easily track user exposure to malicious content with detailed reports. The malware activity dashboard reports the blocked content along with the affected user, the detected malware and its type, and infected file details. This data can then be exported for further analysis.

Benefits and Features

1. Block malicious content and keep your users and networks safe from web-delivered malware.
2. Protect from critical threats such as ransomware, spyware, worms and more.
3. Heuristic and machine learning analyses protect against zero-day attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs) through emulating the behavior of suspected malicious code.
4. Malware signatures are dynamically updated with high frequency to ensure up-to-date protection.
