Malwarebytes introduces enterprise cloud platform

Malwarebytes, the malware prevention and remediation solution, has released its single endpoint cloud platform for business. The solution features Malwarebytes Incident Response, Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection and a new cloud-based management console.

The new Malwarebytes cloud platform makes deployment and ongoing management of Malwarebytes solutions easy. Administrators benefit from broader visibility into endpoints that exist within their environment. Additionally, the solutions do not require a constant connection to the cloud platform, meaning users are still protected when they are not connected.

Malwarebytes Incident Response is a threat detection and remediation tool also built on the cloud-based management platform. Powered by the company’s proprietary Linking Engine, the solution provides remediation possible, improves threat detection and minimises the time it takes to respond to an attack, with the added benefits of scalability, flexibility and automation.

Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection, built on the Malwarebytes platform, is an endpoint security solution featuring layers of detection technologies with a unified endpoint agent. The new Anomaly Detection Engine has been integrated into Malwarebytes’ layered approach to security. Most security vendors have taken a traditional approach to identifying malware using known malware samples. These models need constant retraining, resulting in a process strongly resembling signature-based approaches to threat detection.  Malwarebytes’ machine learning approach, powered by the new anomaly detection layer, provides real-time, signature-less detection against new and unknown threats by modelling known trusted files rather than attempting to model historical malware samples. 

“Malware infections mean lost revenue and potentially devastating consequences, particularly for smaller and mid-sized businesses who have limited internal IT staff,” said Tony Massimini, Senior Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan. “For true protection, businesses require a solution that provides a layered defense approach to security beyond the limitations of traditional antivirus products. Malwarebytes' Anomaly Detection Engine is an innovative technique for identifying malware. An easily deployed and managed cloud solution with machine learning capabilities gives businesses scalable endpoint protection against today’s growing threats.”

“The threat landscape is changing every second with new malware variants arising every day,” said Marcin Kleczynski, CEO, Malwarebytes. “As security professionals, it is our responsibility to protect businesses from these threats, but most competitive offerings take a singular approach to the problem that cannot keep up with how fast malware is evolving. That is why we are now equipping businesses with seven different layers for stopping and remediating today’s and tomorrow’s threats.”

Malwarebytes also announced that it is also a validated replacement for traditional antivirus solutions according to Coalfire Systems, a provider of cybersecurity, risk management and compliance services. Coalfire Systems is certified by the PCI Security Standards Council as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), and its independent assessment of Malwarebytes is that the company exceeds the technical conditions for antivirus software outlined within the requirements of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 3.2, including requirements 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.

In its report, Coalfire says Malwarebytes "is effective in providing significant and substantial support for the key requirements and controls of PCI DSS and can assist in a comprehensive programme of cybersecurity for merchants, issuing banks, processors, services providers and other entities required to comply with PCI DSS 3.2."
