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.
"Uperion" allows the fast "recognition» malicioussoftware, even if the malicious program has not previously been identified/detected 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 reveal dangerous ones material before it can go into operation."
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 obtained the license, is expected to make the technology available in January.
"Software behavior computation αποτελεί μια ανερχόμενη επιστήμη και τεχνολογία που θα έχει σημαντική επίδραση στην ανάλυση malware και την διασφάλιση λογισμικού» υποστηρίζει ο Τζόζεφ Κάρτερ, διευθύνων σύμβουλος της companys, adding that in contrast to other methods it does not look only at the "surface", but at 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.
