NetWitness has introduced an automated malware analysis module to its NextGen network security monitoring and analysis platform. Spectrum combines the platform’s network capture/recording capabilities to obtain detailed information on suspect file activity and techniques that malware researchers commonly use in a “sandbox” environment. These capabilities include static analysis to reveal details such as packing, obfuscation, embedded Java scripts etc. in order to examine the nature of the malware and its impact on the enterprise.
