Combating Key Threats: Zero-Day Attacks

How BOUNCER Protects You Against Zero-Day Attacks

Protecting Your Network Against Zero-Day Threats

As a security professional, one of the biggest problems surrounding endpoint security solutions is the zero-day threat. These attacks are particularly harmful because they exploit system vulnerabilities that are unknown to antivirus companies and can go undetected after they are launched. Relying exclusively on blacklisting programs such as traditional antivirus software to defend your network against zero-day attacks can leave your systems exposed during the "vulnerability window" that exists between the time a vulnerability is exploited and the release of a patch or update to counter the attack. Our whitelisting solution does not rely upon knowledge of the attack in order to protect against it. We effectively protect your systems against zero-day threats by only allowing authorized applications to access your network.

Capitalizing on the Vulnerability Window

Cyber criminals rely on the vulnerability window to inflict the maximum possible damage on your network, including:

  • Exploiting the most common productivity applications (PowerPoint©, Adobe PDF, etc.)

  • Degrading the performance of or shutting down critical systems

  • Dropping keylogging and snooping backdoors and other malware onto your network

  • Turning off security software so that it can't be found and cleaned even after the fact

  • Stealing sensitive company and customer data, often resulting in a highly public company crisis

How BOUNCER Can Help You

Simply put, whitelisting is the only reasonable approach to stopping attacks that have never been seen before. BOUNCER is designed to stop all zero-day attacks from deploying any new or unknown applications from running on your system. In doing so, BOUNCER helps you:

  • Keep backdoors and Trojans and other exploits from executing

  • Protect your network without having to expend resources on constant patching and updating

  • Distinguish and prevent the unauthorized changes to the core of the program, even if an exploit is using an existing, approved application such as PowerPoint

  • Protect your systems and your data from targeted attacks
