Hi.

 

i have a question about how F-Secure DeepGuard works ( of cours i read it's whitepapre so please don't suggest me to read that ), i have a simple question about that, and i prefer to give an answer from a VirLab expert so if any of you kind F-Secure staffs it's possible for you please forward my question to one of them and let me know what is the answer :)

 

Question: is F-Secure DeepGuard also works based behavioral algorithms?  i was testing F-Secure with some pack of Ransomwares ( in a Virutal Machine of cours ) , i turned off F-Secure RealTime , only DeepGuard was On. well it did great, BUT some of Ransomwares which was exist in F-Secure database, DeepGuard failed against them, so i want to know F-Secure have such ability to add these behavioral algorithms to it's DeepGuard if we send them to the VirLab ? or they just tell us our Scanner detect this sample already?  i also was Dr.Web Beta tester for a while, their behavior blocker had such ability they was adding the undetected behavioral algorithms to their behavior blocker ( specialy those one which was exists in their database but their behavior blocker was not able to catch it )

    Thank You dear Laksh.

    yes i will , all i want, is that to be useful

     

    i think it is an improtant matter, for example today i find Kirk Ransomware which exists in F-Secure Database, but DeepGuard cannot detect that when RealTime is off, so for this sample , there is no problem because F-Secure will catch it by database, but what if next version of that ransomware ( here Kirk for example ) publish in your customers's systems? that would be zero-day for some days, and if DeepGuard know it's behavior algorithm, then it can detect the zero-day one too! ( usualy ransomwares in 1 family have common behavioral algorithms in most cases i think ) so i hope Labs be able to add undetected behavioral algorithms to DeepGuard

    You're welcome!

    Yes, I totally understand your point here, Parham! The labs will be able to help you further.

    Hi again.

    dear @Laksh i sent the meintoned sample include a comment which explain the whole matter, but i just got the usual and automatic answer which says the sample already detected by F-Secure Latest Update.

    i think it's a matter that we need to contact with Technical Supports based on my experience, with another AV which i was their beta testers, i open a ticket with tech supports and they forward this matter to Developers for debugg..

    what do you think?

    Good to know he is working on it now. If it still needs any push from my side, you can PM me the case number and I can escalate it for you.
