Coupled with in-network MPS appliances that protect the local network, FireEye offers a global malware analysis & exchange cloud to distribute and share FireEye auto-generated security intelligence about Modern Malware and its unauthorized outbound destinations. By sharing out this intelligence to local FireEye appliances, customers worldwide benefit from the latest intel on inbound attacks and unauthorized outbound communications to prevent data thefts.
The FireEye Malware Analysis & Exchange (MAX) Cloud Intelligence is a real-time data exchange for malware intelligence and threat data to enhance customers' preemptive protection against the ever-changing threat landscape. FireEye MAX subscribers benefit from FireEye's global visibility to more quickly identify and defend against emerging botnet and malware threats. With FireEye security appliances deployed worldwide and feeding intelligence into the MAX cloud, subscribers get the latest in zero-day malware signatures, heuristics, callback channel coordinates, and botnet protocols & activities.
Previously confirmed Modern Malware, Trojans, bots, worms, rootkits, and OS attacks are no longer required to undergo the Malware-VM analysis and simply undergo the fast-path blocking process. FireEye appliances subscribe to the MAX cloud to receive as well as share the latest data on malware locations, communication protocol details, command and control (C&C) coordinates, signatures, port/protocol abuse info, and malware propagation tactics.
