AhnLab MDS vs. ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF)

Recently, organizations have faced increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that embed harmful files or malware within web applications and emails. These types of attacks often result in malware that can bypass conventional security measures, earning them the designation of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Despite the rising prevalence of these threats, many organizations continue to depend on basic security methods like antivirus programs, firewalls, and intrusion prevention systems, which leaves them vulnerable to APTs. As a result, a considerable number of organizations are exposed to potential risks associated with such attacks. The financial impact of these breaches can be significant, leading to losses from stolen intellectual property, compromised data, damage to equipment, and extended periods of network downtime. To address these mounting challenges, AhnLab MDS (Malware Defense System) presents a strong solution aimed at countering APTs through a network sandbox strategy that combines both on-premise and cloud-based analytics to effectively neutralize advanced threats across the organization. This thorough approach not only strengthens security measures but also empowers organizations to preserve their operational integrity even when confronted with evolving cyber threats. Furthermore, implementing such advanced systems can ultimately foster a proactive security culture within the organization, helping to mitigate risks before they escalate into severe incidents.

By leveraging ATLAS, ASERT, and the ATLAS Intelligence Feed, Arbor delivers unparalleled insights into the fundamental networks that form the backbone of the Internet, extending to local enterprise systems. Service providers can utilize ATLAS intelligence to make proactive, informed decisions regarding network security, service innovations, market evaluations, capacity planning, application trends, transit and peering agreements, as well as potential partnerships with content providers. Furthermore, enterprise security teams benefit from the broad global threat intelligence that ATLAS data offers, enabling them to stay ahead of advanced threats while significantly minimizing the time required for manual updates of attack detection signatures. This unique intelligence feed includes not just geo-location data, but also automates the identification of attacks aimed at infrastructure and services from well-known botnets and malware. Additionally, it ensures that updates for new threats are delivered smoothly without necessitating software upgrades, thus allowing organizations to sustain effective security measures with ease. In conclusion, Arbor’s all-encompassing strategy empowers both service providers and enterprises to fortify their security stance while navigating the continuously changing environment of network threats, ultimately fostering a safer digital ecosystem.
