eSentire and Carbon Black Release New Threat Intelligence Spotlight Report on the Shifting Framework of Modern Malware

Research reveals how evolving threats can readily bypass legacy antivirus solutions
3 minutes read

WATERLOO, Ont. & WALTHAM, Mass. – October 1, 2019 – eSentire, Inc., the global leader in Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Carbon Black, a leader in cloud-native endpoint protection, today announced the release of a new Threat Intelligence Spotlight that highlights the increasing sophistication of modern malware. The new report coincides with the start of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month in the United States and Canada.

With modern malware becoming increasingly sophisticated, eSentire and Carbon Black conducted the Threat Intelligence Spotlight to provide a resource that can be used by anyone, regardless of their technical knowledge, to understand how malware works, and more importantly how to protect against its impact.

eSentire’s Threat Intelligence Spotlight: The Shifting Framework of Modern Malware draws on data gathered from both Carbon Black’s extensive endpoint protection install base and the more than 650 mid-sized organizations that eSentire protects. Analysis of this data by security analysts at both companies reveals interesting findings, which include:

Sean Blenkhorn, Chief Product Officer, eSentire said: “The global malware ecosystem has matured beyond nuisance-causing and attention-grabbing activities into a massive business, complete with markets, vendors and outsourcing. Education is the first step in being able to protect against malware, and our new Treat Intelligence Spotlight provides the perfect foundation for anyone who wants to understand this issue in more detail.”

Tom Kellermann, Chief Cybersecurity Officer, Carbon Black said: “As attackers continue to evolve their techniques, visibility for defenders is absolutely paramount. Legacy antivirus solutions are proficient at one thing – stopping known commodity malware. As any security professional will tell you, commodity malware represents only a small fraction of today’s attacks. Modern attacks are often fileless, aim to gain persistence on the enterprise and often allow the attacker to move laterally. Modern endpoint protection is required for stopping modern attacks.”
