Real-time Sandboxing Overview
In computer security, a “sandbox” is a security mechanism for isolating running programs, usually with the goal to mitigate system failures and/or software vulnerabilities from spreading. It is often used to execute untested or untrusted programs or code, typically from unverified or untrusted third parties, without risking harm to the host machine or operating system. Within the “sandbox” an application has limited or restricted access to the operating system resources (for instance, the file system or the network), to prevent damage.
FinalAV Security implements “real-time sandboxing”, whereby an application can be thrown into a “sandbox” when certain security policies are breached. For instance, if any of the modules within an application are not digitally signed by the developers, an application is “sandboxes” in such a way, that it will not be able to freely access the file system and start encrypting files (as ransomware typically do), or “read the keystrokes” (as banking trojans typically do).
Introducing FinalAV Security
FinalAV Security’s new security framework has been designed to dynamically sandbox malicious and/or untrusted applications.
FinalAV Security enforces authentication for software with functionality that is “necessary” for malware to be effective, which is a much easier requirement than attempting to identify malicious behaviour. Digitally signed software will be allowed to run undisrupted, albeit still monitored in real-time.
Otherwise, non-authenticated software runs under a very fine grained real-time sandbox (at kernel API
level) allowing software to run unmodified. This means that rather than blocking known malware, FinalAV Security “sandboxes” any software application which is not digitally signed by its developers. There is no need to previously identify any new malware. This effectively ends the current cat and mouse game between cybersecurity companies and hackers.
FinalAV Security ensures the chain of execution, including dynamically loaded modules, are all authorised before giving full rights (i.e. no weak link policy). Further, if an application that was trusted at launch time because it was digitally signed gets infected via a dynamically link library injection, FinalAV Security will dynamically throw it into a “real-time sandbox” and from that moment on it will be unable to cause any harm
