FireEye protects critical data, intellectual property, and networks against zero-day malware threats such as Web-based malware and botnets that perpetrate cybercrimes at the expense of enterprises and consumers. Our patent-pending technology detects inbound 0-day malware attacks as well as outbound callbacks to unauthorized 3rd parties.

FireEye uses virtual victim machines to detects today’s advanced Web malware and botnets, with the added bonus of eliminating false positives. FireEye replays suspicious Web and network traffic flows into virtual machines to accurately determine infection status. It offers an extremely precise method for detecting known and 0-day malware.
Also, FireEye offers a global malware analysis & exchange network to share auto-generated security intelligence to fight Web malware and its unauthorized outbound destinations. Customers worldwide benefit from even quicker response times to stop inbound attacks and prevent unauthorized outbound data thefts.
