Researchers Will Demonstrate How New Approach
Leads to RAT Malware Capture
Guidance Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: GUID), makers of EnCase®, the
gold standard for digital investigations and endpoint data
security, today announced the publication of its vendor-agnostic
Inside-Out Security Framework and will discuss it at Black Hat USA
2015. Researchers will demonstrate how taking an Inside-Out
approach to information security enables active defense to combat
today’s advanced threats, such as the proliferation of remote
access terminal (RAT) malware types like those seen in recent
commercial and government data breaches.
“Security teams are grappling with the complex challenge of
spotting custom or zero-day malware variants that have been
instrumental in some of the most widely publicized cyber attacks,”
said Scott Crawford, Research Director of the Information Security
practice at 451 Research. “The Inside-Out Security Framework offers
an actionable example of a process that illuminates the critical
blind spots of traditional, perimeter-focused approaches.”
The Inside-Out Security Framework breaks the security planning
process into four phases:
- Know Yourself: Create a security plan,
build a baseline, identify your blind spots, and close the
gaps.
- Detect: Detect known threats, then
detect unknown threats.
- Respond: Automate response, enable
remote investigation, analyze malware, and determine scope.
- Recover: Remediate, verify and update,
enrich data, and repeat.
“Knowing yourself” involves gaining visibility to all the places
where sensitive data is stored on network endpoints. Security teams
that do this are better equipped to respond quickly when anomalous
activity is taking place there. For example, the ability to spot an
unauthorized or unusual connection to a remote IP address can serve
as a trigger for a team to search for unusual activity and
indicators of compromise on the endpoint in question, including the
forensic artifacts that RAT malware cannot avoid leaving
behind.
“Our vision is to help companies and government agencies spot
unknown threats earlier in order to prevent data breaches.
Inside-out security approaches put the focus on knowing your
endpoints and protecting the information assets that reside there,”
said Roger Angarita, Director of Product Management at Guidance
Software. “Our research confirms the message in headline news:
perimeter-focused security approaches aren’t keeping determined
hackers out of our networks. It’s time for security teams to take
an inside-out security approach using deep and rapid endpoint
intelligence from inside the firewall.”
Guidance Software will be presenting the Inside-Out Security
Framework and a demonstration of RAT malware capture at Black Hat
USA 2015. For more information on the Inside-Out Security Framework

#641 in the Black Hat Business Hall on August 5-6, 2015.
