New York,
NY (September 17, 2008) Norman announces the release of SandBox Analyzer for Linux and File-Format Exploit Support
Norman’s SandBox technology continues to lead the
fight against malware, helping security experts more
quickly and accurately mitigate security threats.
As security challenges become more complex, Norman’s tools are evolving to make analysis
and reverse engineering tasks in security labs straightforward and more
efficient. The latest update to the Norman SandBox
products will save our users even more time from processing malware
samples.
Norman today released the SandBox Analyzer for Linux
to the product line giving customers an important option to the popular Windows
version of the SandBox Analyzer. “The Linux
product is welcomed especially by customers using SandBox
technology in automated malware analysis
environments. Customers prefer the stabile and efficient nature of the Linux based
operating system on their production servers. The Linux product lets customers
use their preferred OS of choice.” said Arvid Gomez,
Vice President of OEM and Technology Sales.
As part of this major SandBox release, SandBox Analyzer products now have the ability to not only
detect and analyze executable code, but also exploit code concealed in
Microsoft Office as well as other popular exploitable file formats.
“Arbitrary code execution is becoming a greater problem every day,
especially when they come in the form of a zero day exploit. The ability
to quickly understand these exploits using Norman’s SandBox
technology saves analysts a great deal of effort, not to mention the avoidance
of impact this will have upon users and organizations,” said Mr. Gomez.
In addition to these improvements, the recent release of the Norman SandBox includes a new emulator, advancing functionality,
boosting analysis speed by 10%, and increasing detection by nearly 20%. SandBox Analyzer Pro also gained important debugging
features and functionality.
