Smarter technology

Traditional antivirus relies on outdated signature-based technology that addresses threats at the execution stage of the attack chain. It’s reactive, one-dimensional, and apparently isn’t effective. Malwarebytes employs several proprietary technologies that work together to break the attack chain, from pre-delivery to post-execution.

Our platform applies the following real-time protection layers:

• Web Protection Prevents access to malicious websites, ad networks, scammer networks, and bad neighborhoods
• Application Hardening Reduces vulnerability exploit surface and proactively detects fingerprinting attempts used by advanced attacks
•  Exploit Mitigation Proactively detects and blocks attempts to abuse vulnerabilities and remotely execute code on the endpoint
•  Application Behavior Protection Prevents applications from being leveraged to infect the endpoint
• Anomaly Detection Proactively identifies viruses and malware through machine learning technique
• Payload Analysis Identifies entire families of known malware with heuristic and behavioral rules
• Behavior Monitoring Detects and blocks ransomware via behavioral monitoring technologymatching-basedsignature-lessRemediation EngineWeb ProtectionApplication HardeningExploit MitigationApplication Behavior ProtectionAnomaly DetectionPayload AnalysisBehavior Monitoring
