The future of the programs antivirus/ cyber security may be the technology Hyperion, developed at the 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 individual domain problems," it says. "This technology helps identify vulnerabilities and can uncover dangerous hardware before it can go live."
Hyperion, which has been in development for a decade, provides increased and more comprehensive possibilities scanning than other cybersecurity methods.
«Η προσέγγιση αυτή είναι καλύτερη από το signature detection, που αναζητεί μόνο μοτίβα από bytes. Είναι εύκολο να το κρύψει κάποιος αυτό- μπορούν να το σπάσουν σε κομμάτια και να το διασπείρουν στο πρόγραμμα, έτσι ώστε να μη μοιάζει με κάποια καταχωρημένη ‘υπογραφή'».
R&K Cyber Solutions, which obtained the license, is expected to make the technology available in January.
"The behavior computation is an emerging science and technology that will have a significant impact on malware analysis and software assurance," says Joseph Carter, the company's CEO, adding that unlike other methods, it doesn't just look at "surface”, but to the 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.
