Original Press Release:
FireEye Launches Assault on Crimeware with Centrally Managed Network Malware Control System
FireEye 4200 2.0 protects against targeted, remote control malware threats that have circumvented today's network security technologies
MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 5 / -- FireEye, Inc., a leader in network malware control solutions, today announced the availability of the FireEye Central Management System (CMS), and the FireEye 4200 2.0 appliance that addresses the exploding threat of remotely controlled malicious software or crimeware including botnets, zombies and zero-day threats. Leveraging FireEye's innovative virtualization technology, the appliances protect both servers and desktops against targeted, intrusive malware while streamlining management of the solution. Unlike traditional security technologies, the FireEye CMS and 4200 2.0 protect against network-borne exploits, both known and unknown, and ensure that only compliant, up-to-date machines are granted network access.
"Malware breaches have now evolved into full-blown crimeware -- stealthy organized, monetized threats that can disable entire organizations," said Ashar Aziz, founder and CEO of FireEye. "By combining advanced network security with our unprecedented virtualization technology, FireEye's new Network Malware Control solutions create a new industry standard for addressing major gaps in enterprise protection. Crimeware threats like phishing, botnets, and zero-day attacks are repudiated with little impact to the IT organization due to the FireEye Central Management System's easy configurability and integration."
"Financially motivated attacks have grown significantly. The attacks that cause the most damage to businesses have become more targeted and more stealthy," said John Pescatore, vice president with Gartner Group, Inc. "Business malware defenses need to evolve to include architectures, processes and security products that provide new approaches that go beyond attack signatures for detecting and blocking malicious executables."
FireEye Virtualization Technology Stops Malware in Its Tracks
The 2.0 release of FireEye's Network Malware Control System secures FireEye's lead in crimeware threat protection by protecting servers and desktops from stealthy malware that seeks to compromise an organization's computing environment. The new release features centralized management of FireEye 4200 appliances, and server platform protection against targeted crimeware attacks, such as phishing and botnets.
With the FireEye Attack Confirmation Technology (FACT) engine, the FireEye 4200 2.0 uses patent-pending virtualization technology to continually assess suspect network traffic and block actual threats with minimal interruption to network access. Employing an infinite supply of instrumented virtual victim machines -- dynamically built on-the-fly to scan real-time traffic flows for previously undetectable malware -- FireEye's FACT engine verifies crimeware attacks by analyzing suspicious traffic flows as it compromises a virtual victim machine. This allows FireEye to conclusively confirm attacks prior to taking any quarantine actions or denying access to the network. With the FireEye 4200 2.0, enterprises are able to fight attacks that circumvent traditional signature-based security products and fly under the radar with typical anomaly/heuristic detection solutions.
Easy Integration and Deployment
FireEye 4200 2.0 can be deployed together with network-level security devices to provide true zero-day attack protection without changing the existing enterprise infrastructure. FireEye 4200 2.0 protects against previously unknown malware attacks without requiring signature updates or IT analysis. Deployed out-of-band within LANs as well as next to key entry points such as VPNs concentrators and wireless mobility controllers, FireEye 4200 2.0 can be deployed within minutes into almost any existing network infrastructure.
CMS Streamlines Deployment
The new FireEye CMS enables consolidated reporting and streamlines enterprise-wide deployment from a single centralized management appliance. The FireEye CMS serves as a data storehouse providing a means to collect and store audit-relevant security events to meet long-term data retention requirements.
New Windows Server Support and ArubaOS integration
New FireEye 4200 2.0 Windows Server support enhances critical network infrastructure protection. Other security enhancements include enforcement integration with Aruba mobility controllers and out-of-band network access controls that support auditing and compliance requirements.
FireEye's new 4200 2.0 attack prevention enhancements include:
-- Built-in attack quarantine methods
-- Dynamic inline traffic cleansing, enabling packet-level scrubbing
-- Integrated enforcement support via ArubaOS' ESI module
Pricing and Availability
Pricing for the FireEye CMS starts at $10,000 per unit. The FireEye 4200 2.0 is $35,000 per unit. Both are available immediately.
