FireEye

MENLO PARK, Calif.—September 24, 2007—FireEye, Inc., the leader in global anti-botnet protection, today announced an integrated anti-botnet solution that couples the global FireEye Botwall Network with its FireEye Botwall appliances. FireEye delivers the industry's only anti-botnet solution built from the ground-up to combat the stealthy, targeted malware unleashed via remotely controlled and compromised PCs, also known as bots. The FireEye Botwall Network, which provides unprecedented intelligence on botnet command and control (C&C) as well as detection and analysis of propagation activities, gives organizations a complete view of the botnet threat landscape.

"Traditional signature and anomaly based security tools, whether host- or network-based, fall short when it comes to protecting information and IP assets from directed attacks, particularly from well orchestrated attacks typical of those launched through botnets," said Raffi Jamgotchian, CIO for Canaras. "FireEye has given us a dramatically new capability to proactively protect our network from botnets with a transparent, easy-to-deploy solution that not only give us peace of mind but removes quantifiable threats to our network and, by extension, our most valuable business-critical corporate assets."

Global Intelligence and Local Anti-Botnet Protection

FireEye provides anti-botnet protection through an easy-to-deploy solution comprising the FireEye Botwall 4000 appliance and the FireEye Botwall Network service. The FireEye Botwall Network is a globally deployed botnet discovery and analysis service offering which provides subscribers with the most current botnet intelligence to complement on-premise anti-botnet security appliances. It catalogs and disseminates botnet characteristics derived from malware analyses which are conducted by interconnected networks of FireEye Botwall appliances selectively deployed at service providers around the world.

Enterprise customers using FireEye Botwall appliances are now able to subscribe to the FireEye Botwall Network and gain critical visibility into botnet command and control (C&C) structures and locations, propagation tactics, and malicious activities. The newly launched "in the cloud" service supports FireEye's vision for a global security network to provide customers pre-emptive protection against the real and burgeoning botnet threat. FireEye now offers the first anti-botnet protection system to integrate global awareness with local network analysis to precisely identify, understand, and stop emerging botnet and malware threats.

The FireEye Botwall 4000 Series is a next-generation, locally deployed security appliance that protects corporate networks specifically from botnets. The appliances protect customers by derailing each stage of a bot infiltration attack-from preventing the initial breach and downloading the first bot command payload to blocking active communications to known malicious botnet servers used by bot masters to command these compromised PCs. The FireEye Botwall appliances employ three classes of anti-botnet technologies:

• Discovery: On-premise botnet propagation analysis coupled with global botnet C&C data uncovers compromised enterprise machines ("bots") being remotely controlled by malicious bot masters.
• Control: Customers can extinguish botnet propagation activities and unauthorized communications using techniques including port level blocking, OSPF null routing, and TCP connection resets.
• Audit: Botwall appliance analyses, reports, and alerts ensure IT management stays ahead of botnet infiltration attacks.

At the core of all FireEye Botwall appliances, is the patent-pending FireEye Analysis and Control Technology (FACT) engine which analyzes network traffic for botnet malware and botnet C&C server communications within virtual victim machines. This technique surpasses the limitations and inaccuracies of traditional signatures or network behavioral heuristics to protect customers from botnet penetration and exploitation.

FireEye's complete solution allows businesses and service providers to detect and stop bot-infection to protect corporate resources, intellectual property and personnel data. For service providers, FireEye delivers the means to continually remove botted machines that pollute the carrier's network. This creates a safer and better performing Internet experience for consumers by eliminating identity theft infrastructure, shutting down spam relays, and restoring the full bandwidth subscribers have paid for.

"The FireEye Botwall system redefines coordinated network security going beyond traditional security mechanisms, such as blocking at the perimeter or inspecting traffic on the internal LAN, to accurately and continuously analyze the network for both bots and botnet activities," said Ashar Aziz, CEO of FireEye. "We've created a solution geared to stop the threat of botnet infiltrations in a coordinated and easy-to-deploy system for our customers."

The company also today announced its strategic blueprint for protecting consumers, service providers, and corporate networks against botnet-driven attacks in the press release, "FireEye Unveils Strategy for Industry's Most Comprehensive Anti-Botnet Protection."
