New versions of FireEye Network and Endpoint
Security work together to enhance detection and investigation
capabilities, protecting cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployments
against emerging attacks
FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: FEYE), the intelligence-led security
company, today announced the availability of two new software
releases – FireEye® Network Security 8.3 and FireEye Endpoint
Security 4.8. These new versions allow for enhanced detection and
investigation of advanced attacks against servers, whether hosted
in the cloud, on-premise or in hybrid environments.
“Servers are highly targeted by adversaries using the most
sophisticated techniques,” said Grady Summers, CTO at FireEye. “Our
platform capabilities introduced today combine detection and
visibility across the network and endpoint to quickly find threats
targeting Windows or Linux based servers. FireEye customers can now
more quickly investigate and triage lateral threats at the first
sign of a breach, whether their servers are based on-premise, in
the cloud, or a hybrid.”
Intelligent Defense for the Most Sensitive Data
Web shells, ransomware, cryptomining, botnets, and shell scripts
all have one thing in common – they enable attackers to keep a low
profile in the system until they are ready to execute their attack.
Getting visibility into the early stages of the attack lifecycle is
critical to protecting business infrastructure. The latest updates
to the FireEye platform allow organizations to detect, investigate,
and remediate these advanced attacks in days or hours instead of
weeks or months.
Summers continued, “Web shells are one of the most common
pathways into the network, and we’ve implemented new defenses to
protect against these attacks. Through this integration across the
network and endpoint, FireEye’s unique approach to detecting web
shell activity enables rapid identification of malicious activity
so security practitioners can detect these attacks in minutes and
quickly respond by containing the server, webpage or app.”

Case Example: Stopping Real World Attacks from Iran
FireEye recently detected and responded to Iranian-nexus actor
APT34. The threat actor utilized a combination of social
engineering, three new malware families and social networks to drop
malware on the victim network. The visibility provided by FireEye
Network Security combined with the immediate protection from
FireEye Endpoint Security against the offending application enabled
FireEye customers to prevent the malware families created and used
by APT34 from progressing. These techniques are not exclusive to
sophisticated actors and all organizations should employ a layered
approach to cybersecurity based on front-line intelligence to guide
investigations and response to minimize risk to the
organization.
