Malware/ransomware in a nutshell

Malware attacks quietly install malicious software that can steal data, encrypt files, or open the door for more serious threats.

Ransomware attacks install software that locks systems or data until a ransom is paid to unlock them.

Some attackers also steal data and threaten to leak it if the ransom isn't paid, a tactic known as double extortion. The impact can be severe, including downtime, lost data, financial loss, and reputational damage.

Our previous solution delivered a well-crafted phishing email to our technology team, but Sublime identified it as malicious immediately. That was our first 'oh yeah, Sublime is way better' moment.

What makes malware/ransomware attacks so effective

Malware and ransomware attacks are delivered in a variety of ways, with novel techniques constantly being developed.

Wide-ranging delivery

Wide-ranging delivery

Attacks can be delivered via links with automatic downloads, hidden within another installation process, command copy/paste, and more.

Silent installation

Silent installation

Malware and ransomware installations often run silently in the background, so a target doesn't know it's installed until it's too late.

Masked in legitimacy

Masked in legitimacy

Increasingly, attackers will use legitimate IT tools (ScreenConnect, AutoIT, etc.) for malicious purposes, bypassing traditional security.

Tools for keeping malware/ransomware out of inboxes

Malware and ransomware can shut a business down. Sublime uses a layered combination of AI, machine learning, and org-specific detections to catch these attacks.

Link-based malware delivery

Sublime's uses a browser emulation sandbox and machine learning to follow links through redirects and download files for analysis, including payloads delivered via HTML smuggling.

Recursive file analysis

Sublime analyzes files for suspicious indicators. This includes recursive analysis of archives, scanning all the files within regardless of depth.

File type coverage

Attacks can be delivered through a wide variety of file types (PDF, HTML, EML, DOCX, XLSX, ZIP, RAR, ICS, and more), so Sublime analyzes every file looking for malicious indicators.

Sender behavior

Sublime uses sender behavioral history, organization context, WHOIS registration data, and more to determine the trustworthiness of a sender.
