How FireEye Analysis & Control Technology works
The FireEye Analysis & Control Technology (FACT) engine is at the core of the FireEye Botwall™ appliance and every FireEye Botwall Network sensor.
The FACT engine is a network-based technology that creates an infinite supply of virtual victim machines to scan real-time network traffic flows for stealthy, targeted malware.
- Suspicious network traffic is mirrored into the FACT engine.
- The engine first flags suspicious network activities.
- Then, targeted attacks are confirmed within virtual victim machine analysis
- On attack confirmation, automated security actions are immediately taken to protect other network resources.
