“With exploits, their appearance can change and the vulnerability they use can change, but they always do what exploits do. “Malware can mutate in characteristics, but the constant is that it always does malicious things,” says Timo Hirvonen, Senior Analyst at F-Secure.

They take advantage of flaws in the code of a computer’s installed applications to access the computer and infect it with malware that can spy on the user, steal passwords or other sensitive data, or even take control of the machine.ħ0 to 80 percent of F-Secure Labs’ top 10 detected malware are exploits – a growth in popularity that is largely due to exploit kits, which have made it simple for even the technically unskilled to break into computers. With the rollout of DeepGuard 5, the newest version of F-Secure’s behavior-based analysis technology that blocks new and emerging threats, F-Secure will be able to detect exploit attempts without needing to know the vulnerability they are exploiting.Įxploits usually attack via malicious or compromised websites.
Deepguard f secure software#
including TDR signatures inside Deepguard database updates).Exploitation of software vulnerabilities has become one of the most popular ways to gain access to users’ machines, but F-Secure is reinforcing its exploit defenses with enhanced proactive protection. Maybe it could be very useful for F-Secure to have a bidirectionnal communication with Watchguard to make your products working better together (e.g. So regulary the F-Secure Client Security user has a popup from Deepguard asking what to do with "host_sensor.exe".Įxcept if I am wrong, basically there is currently no way for an F-Secure Policy Manager Admin like me to exclude host_sensor.exe process from Deepguard.
Deepguard f secure update#
Each update is detected each time as a new risk by Deepguard because - I guess - the exe signature is changing. What is annoying is that TDR is updating itself on a regular basis. The watchguard best practices are suggesting to exclude Antimalware folder from TDR (done), and the F-Secure TDR folder (or host_sensor.exe process) from Antimalware solution. If the user allows TDR inside Deepguard, all is working without any trouble. The "issue" we are encountering is that F-Secure Deepguard is doing its job What I meen is simply that it detects TDR ("host_sensor.exe") as a potentiel risk due to its behavior (exactly what they are both supposed to do). Stricto senso, TDR is NOT an antimalware and is not replacing this kind of products. As from Watchguard, TDR is designed to work alongside with "classic" Antivirus/Antimalware products (even advanced one such as F-Secure Business Product). Basically it is divided in a local host sensor (host_sensor.exe) and a Cloud Plateform which is communicating whith. Watchguard TDR is a cloud based behavior detection against specificaly Advanced threat such as crypto-virus or cryto-worms (more info here).
We are encountering an "issue" between Watchguard TDR (Threat Detection and Response) and F-Secure Deepguard inside F-Secure Client Security (AFAIK this is still the case with latest 13.00 version).
