GEC NEWS WIRETool to Help Organizations Detect Malware Related to Regin and Sony Hacks
Resolution1 Security has released the Threat Scanner, a new freeware tool that searches for malware artifacts on a suspect endpoint. Using ThreatScanner, security personnel will be able to quickly and proactively hunt for threats to minimize the impact of an attack by instantly identifying compromised systems. Once installed, they can immediately scan for malware, including those attributed to the recent Regin and Sony Pictures hacks.
With this initial release, the integration of IOC and YARA rules is a technology first to use both formats simultaneously for greater search flexibility. Current tools are limiting in that they scan one or the other but not both.
“We’ve developed ThreatScanner to help not only our customers, but also the security community at large, by making this freeware tool widely available,” said Brian Karney, CEO of Resolution1 Security. “In today’s advanced threat landscape, enterprises need to be proactive and hunt for threats rather than passively rely on the thousands of daily SIEM alerts. We built ThreatScanner to give security teams additional tools to strengthen their incident response.”
