The ICSA Labs report states, “SonicWall Capture ATP did remarkably well during this test cycle — detecting 100% of previously unknown threats while having zero false positives” in ICSA’s test environment. Standard ICSA Labs Advanced Threat Defense (ATD) testing targets vendor solutions designed to identify new threats that other traditional security products do not detect. Test focus on how effectively vendor ATD solutions detect these unknown and little-known threats while minimizing false positives.
First unveiled in 2018, RTDMI™ has also been awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The proprietary machine learning-based memory inspection technology is included as part of the multi-engine SonicWall ATP sandbox service.
As detailed in the latest 2021 SonicWall Cyber Threat Report, RTDMI technology discovered 268,362 ‘never-before-seen’ malware variants in 2020, a 74% year-over-year increase. RTDMI is proven to proactively detect and block unknown mass-market malware, including malicious Office and PDF file types.
“Armed with more than a decade of machine-learning experience, RTDMI plays an essential role in quickly identifying destructive malware strands not detected by traditional sandboxing technology,” said SonicWall SVP and Chief Technology Officer John Gmuender. “As cyberattacks continue to strengthen and escalate, so must technology and the creative thinking of researchers who work around the clock to ensure that organizations in all industries can advance their reliance on the digital and connected world.”
