The future of the programs antivirus/ cyber security may be the technology Hyperion, developed in Oak Ridge National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy.
"Hyperion" allows for rapid "recognition" of malware, even if the dangerous program has not been detected / identified in the past as a threat.
Hyperion analyzes and evaluates malicious software behaviors as he can "see" within an executable program to find out his "intentions" without using the source code or running the program in question, according to one from its creators, Stacy Pearl of Cyber Warfare Research Team ORNL.
“These 'behaviors' can be automatically checked for known malicious operations, as well as individually problems domains" says about it. "This technology helps identify vulnerabilities and can uncover dangerous hardware before it can go live."
Hyperion, which has been developing for over a decade, provides increased and more extensive scanning capabilities than other cyber-security methods.
"This approach is better than signature detection, which only looks for patterns of bytes. It's easy for someone to hide this - they can break it into pieces and spread it around the program so it doesn't look like a registered 'signature'.''
R&K Cyber Solutions, which acquired the relevant permission, is expected to make the technology available this January.
"Software behavior computation is an emerging science and technology that will have a significant impact on malware analysis and software assurance, "said Joseph Carter, chief executive officer of the company, adding that, unlike other methods, it does not only look at the surface, but in deeper functional patterns.
He adds that the analytical capabilities of this technology can be used in various cyber-security issues, including software security, lack of source code, hardware / software data exploitation, and so on.
