Forcepoint Zero Trust Content Disarm and Reconstruction (ZTCDR)

ZT CDR is a novel technology that stops malware. Previous techniques rely on detecting the malware to stop it, an approach eventually defeated by attackers finding better ways to hide it. ZT CDR assumes all data is bad, extracts the business information and builds brand new safe data to deliver.

Features

  • Cloud hosted deployment (inline appliance, gateway appliance)
  • Software as a Service API option
  • Suitable for Web, Email, File Transfer, custom applications
  • No false positives
  • No signature updates required
  • Unmatched user experience

Benefits

  • Ideal for cloud native deployments - SaaS available
  • Can be used for multiple attack vectors -email, web etc.
  • Reduces burden on SOC teams - nothing to investigate
  • Reduces admin overhead - no need for constant updates
  • Effective against Zero day attacks as well as known attacks
  • Delivered data looks and works the same as the original
  • More effective than detection based methods such as AV/sandboxing
