Ransomware and zero-day threat detection

ESET LiveGuard Advanced uses four separate detection layers to maximize detections. Samples first undergo static analysis and state-of-the-art unpacking, and are matched against an enriched threat database. The second layer performs static and dynamic analysis, using machine learning algorithms and techniques that include deep learning. Samples are then detonated in sophisticated sandboxes that monitor any signs of malicious behavior. Finally, all sandbox outputs are subjected to in-depth behavioral analysis to identify known malicious patterns and actions.

Granular reports

An admin can create a report from ESET LiveGuard Advanced data in the ESET PROTECT console. They can either use one of the pre-defined reports or make a custom one.

Transparent, full visibility

Every analyzed sample status is visible in the ESET PROTECT console, showing data sent to ESET LiveGrid®. For privacy, you can also require immediate post-analysis deletion of samples.

Automatic protection

The endpoint or server product automatically decides whether a sample is good, bad or unknown. If the sample is unknown, it is sent to ESET LiveGuard Advanced for analysis. Once the analysis is finished, the result is shared, and the endpoint products respond accordingly.

Mail Security protection

Not only does ESET LiveGuard Advanced work with files, but it also works directly with ESET Mail Security, to ensure that malicious emails are not delivered to your organization.

Mobility

Nowadays, employees often do not work on the premises. The Cloud Sandbox analyzes files no matter where users are.

Proactive protection

If a simple is found suspicious, it is blocked from execution while ESET Dynamic Threat Defense analyzes it. That way, potential threats are prevented from wreaking havoc on the system.

Tailored customization

ESET allows per-computer detailed policy configuration for ESET Dynamic Threat Defense so the admin can control what is sent and what should happen based on the receiving result.

Manual submission

At any time, a user or admin can submit samples via an ESET compatible product for analysis and get the full result. Admins will see who sent what and what the result was directly in the ESET PROTECT console.

How our advanced, multilayered analysis works

ESET LiveGuard Advanced is a cloud-based threat defense solution that executes all submitted suspicious samples in an isolated ESET HQ cloud test environment and evaluates their behavior using threat intelligence feeds, multiple internal tools for static and dynamic analysis, and reputation data to detect zero-day threats. Four layers are used to analyze samples, but not all of these have to be used if we’re sure about the result in advance.
