EARLY ACCESS

Show less ...Show more

The downloads referenced under the "Cybersecurity Early Access" category are made available to subscribers to mitigate time-critical issues but have not undergone formal quality and performance testing associated with official OpenText/Cybersecurity product releases. OpenText has a multi-stage Quality Assurance process. During Stage 1 we conduct a resource analysis, field mapping, ensure content level 1 functionality and analysis in our sandbox environment. Stage 2 is a complete validation including production validation. This package has cleared Stage 1 validation and therefore should be deployed with the appropriate pre-production validation. OpenText strongly recommends that any downloaded content is first checked and tested thoroughly in a non-production environment before committing to production. We welcome feedback and, should any content be shown to be faulty, detrimental or carry an incorrect claim of authorship, we shall endeavor to remove or correct such content as promptly as reasonably possible once notified and validated.

Zerotect is an open-source agent that, integrated with Micro Focus ArcSight, detects attempted zero-day attacks with no prior knowledge of the vulnerability or attack being used.

Description

Zerotect observes various system events (such as segmentation faults, core dumps, application crashes, etc.) and interprets them in a structured format and emits them to ArcSight for analysis. ArcSight’s powerful data analysis capabilities then enable detection of a live zero-day attack by correlating elements of Zerotect events.

Memory-based fileless attacks usually take a few attempts to get right. When some of these attempts fail, they produce side-effects in the form of crashes and faults. These “faults” logs are not structured and are usually split across multiple entries in the kernel log buffer. Zerotect reinterprets these unstructured and separate events into one unified entry in the Common Event Format (CEF).

Once ArcSight consumes these events, they reveal interesting patterns that can confirm a live zero-day attack in progress. ArcSight provides the analytics, graphing and monitoring tool at scale so that security teams are able to further drill deeper into what processes were attacked, what pattern the attacker is following and so forth. ArcSight and Zerotect enable a new class of zero-day detection by enterprises and SOCs improving their security posture and situational awareness.
