Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. Stopping Malware:
Beyond Signatures
executive Summary
Respectively, hacking and malware consistently rank #2 and #3 as the main causes for security breaches (Verizon
Business, 2010)1. While most organizations have gained some level of control over the protection for their environment,
hackers continue to become more sophisticated in their methods, constantly learning how to increase their capacity
for causing harm to the world’s information systems and stealing the precious data housed on them. For example,
some attackers prefer to use large numbers of exploits used as a combined exploit kit to get the job done. For example,
the largest exploit kit observed in 2H09 included 23 exploits. (Microsoft, 2009)2. As their attacks increase in depth,
complexity, and invisibility, keeping up with the technology to combat these threats can be difficult at best.
Signature and rule-based detections remain an important piece of the protection puzzle3, but it’s certainly not enough
on its own. New, proactive technology is required for effective malware detection and remediation, streamlined
performance, and efficient resource utilization.
While protection against system attacks requires technology such as antivirus, the solution can’t be solely about the
technology. In addition, both service and support are key components to consider when looking to define, design,
build, deploy, and support an information system protection solution on time, in today’s demanding environment.
Selecting a partner that will be there when it matters is crucial.
This whitepaper examines the challenges in integrating malware protection into broader product offerings, provides an
in-depth review of the VIPRE® SDK, and covers the benefits of partnering with the GFI Advanced Technology Group to
deliver the most efficient and effective protection solutions available.

introduction
With hacking and malware responsible for over 95% of reported data compromises4 , it is important for security-minded
technology vendors to not lose sight of the core anti-malware capabilities required to deliver secure systems and proactive
protection to their clients. Worms and other potentially unwanted software were two categories of threats that increased
in prevalence during the previous four quarters. (Microsoft, 2010)5
Of these two categories, one of the most noteworthy types of attacks comes via rogue security software. This malicious
software displays false or misleading messages about vulnerabilities or infections located on the victim’s PC that need
to be repaired. The software usually offers to do this as a service for the victim, for a price. Often referred to as scareware,
the malicious software appears to provide a security benefit when in reality it uses an array of common attack methods
to swindle money from its unsuspecting victim. According to a Microsoft Security Intelligence Report, this form of attack
has increased by 46.5 percent in recent months, up from 5.3 million infected computers in 1H09 to 7.8 million infected
computer in 2H09. This would suggest that there is a huge market for the creation and distribution of these software
applications. (Microsoft, 2009)6
This is proof that anti-malware technologies and their resulting protection products are far from redundant and remain a
critical component in securing the world’s information systems. Providing the best possible malware detection and repair
is a non-negotiable item and the selection of the right technology and partner must be considered carefully.
Are you missing anti-malware capabilities in your product? Or, have you let your existing malware detection capabilities
slide? Do you risk failing to deliver the much-needed protection your clients demand and deserve?
it’s More than technology
When it comes to delivering value to the customer, being innovative and creative is only half of the equation. There is
more to it than just bringing a product to market. To complete the picture, the solution must combine industry expertise
and unmatched support such that the end user can truly reap the rewards of the solution.
Making a wise Choice
Select the wrong partner and, not only could you find yourself wasting time integrating a less-than-perfect anti-malware
engine into your offering, you could put your clients at risk of being compromised. At the same time, you could find
your product lost in the product development shuffle as the provider of the SDK attempts to fix their own anti-malware
products first, leaving yours to lag behind with an outdated engine.

Must-Have anti-Malware partner requirements
The following should be considered compulsory when selecting a partner to support you in the on-time delivery and
ongoing maintenance and support of your malware-protecting product offering.
ability to Meet time-to-Market requirements
Building the best solution possible is all for naught if the offering doesn’t make it to market on time. It is of utmost
importance to meet the clients’ needs in time for it to matter for them. Worse yet, if building the solution requires
more resources than what should be allocated due to poorly designed APIs or poorly documented functions, your
organization would be wasting valuable resources that could otherwise be applied to additional engineering tasks
geared toward generating additional revenue and/or increasing customer satisfaction.
The VIPRE SDK includes well-documented features and APIs, with clear examples of application code. With this kit,
developers get everything they need to ‘drop in’ anti-malware protection into any new or existing product.
trusted SdK experience and Security expertise
It is important to select a security partner and SDK technology that has consistently proven its success. The technology
should be developed by a team of security experts familiar with building effective, efficient, and easily embeddable
OEM software. There are a variety of methods available to determine the success of the provider and its technology.
Some of the most common methods include checking with industry analysts, reviewing independent product reviews,
speaking to a few reference clients, and most importantly, reviewing your own specific development and support
requirements directly with the SDK provider.
To ensure top-notch detection rates, the VIPRE SDK is backed by a dedicated team of research professionals specializing
in the discovery and analysis of dangerous malware and malicious websites. The team creates new signature definitions
and advanced heuristics for zero-day threats, rogue applications such as fake antivirus programs, and other malicious
files. Additionally, GFI’s user community, consisting of millions of VIPRE consumer users, anonymously sends potential
threat information to GFI Labs™, thereby improving their ability to produce the best detection and remediation
capabilities available.
GFI and its product offerings have been recognized by a number of well-respect institutions around the world, ranging
from independent test labs to industry media publications and detection comparative groups to channel analysis firms.
VIPRE holds numerous awards and certifications from recognized industry reviewers and testers.
The VIPRE SDK can be found in use within many industry-leading protection offerings. Case study references can be
found throughout this paper.
unparalleled Customer Support
GFI has a team dedicated to helping OEM partners implement the VIPRE SDK. U.S. based support includes a dedicated
developer for any escalated SDK support issues. Additionally, GFI has an on-line ticketing system through its dedicated
OEM portal coupled with other on-line support tools.
proven SdK technology
Below are some of the more critical technology items to consider when selecting an anti-malware engine SDK.
engineered efficiency: A number of SDKs available on the market today have been developed as an afterthought
to an existing anti-malware product offering. These are typically the result of the engine being extracted from the

product and then wrapped in an SDK. Many vendors build a separate SDK just for OEMs use – a different version of
the product, a different code base, different support cycle, and slower response times for reported bugs. To this end,
a number of these vendors’ SDKs suffer from being bloated and extremely inefficient, making the resulting products
ineffective and the in-market support process unpleasant.
The VIPRE SDK has been designed from its inception to be an embeddable malware engine for purposes of delivering
industry-leading detection capabilities to software and appliance vendors around the world. To ensure ease of use
and functionality as its client expect, GFI ‘eats its own dog food’. To this end, the VIPRE SDK is used within both the
VIPRE Antivirus Business and VIPRE Antivirus Home versions of their endpoint protection products.
detection rates: The primary purpose of an anti-malware engine should be to provide the best detection
capabilities possible. In order to accomplish this, a multitude of protection capabilities must be available within the
engine, with the scanning functions available to the calling application from well-documented, easy-to-use APIs.
The VIPRE SDK benefits from multiple threat data sources for developing its threat definition updates. GFI Labs
processes tens of thousands of malware samples a day, utilizing its live threat data and folding it directly into the VIPRE
SDK.
The following chart shows the Virus Bulletin RAP results obtained over the last four tests, with average reactive scores
plotted against average proactive scores for each product. GFI/Sunbelt is amongst the top performers in this report.

When the VIPRE endpoint protection product is deployed to an already-infected environment, rest assured that it will
effectively detect, identify and clean up any payload left behind by existing malicious software that found its way onto
the network and endpoint devices prior to VIPRE doing its job.
performance: The anti-malware engine of choice should be small in size, easy to deploy, quick to install, lightweight,
nimble, efficient, and not utilize an unreasonable amount of memory or CPU while doing its job. This high-
performance engine must not come at the expense of experiencing the best protection and repair rates possible.
After it has been installed, the protection product should use memory wisely and efficiently. Be sure to look at
memory usage while the application is idle and while it is performing a security scan. Refer to the figure below for
example memory usage statistics for some of the most common protection products on the market.

Equally important to memory utilization is the amount of CPU used by the application. Refer to the figure below for
example CPU rates during a security scan for some of the most common protection products on the market.

avoid False positives/Faulty definitions: Turning up the dials to get the best possible detection rates
oftentimes leads to non-threatening activities being erroneously identified as threats or malicious behavior. These
faulty detections are referred to as false positives. Chasing down a false positive can be annoying at best and a huge
waste of time in a more severe case.
Most organizations have either indirectly heard of, or have experienced first-hand, a virus definition or signature set
that causes the system to crash, reboot, or even be rendered disabled. This is unacceptable behavior and the history
of success and failure in this area should be reviewed very carefully as the SDK provider is selected.
The VIPRE SDK avoids false positives by incorporating an extensive whitelist of legitimate vendors’ digital certificates
where the certificate is used to digitally sign the binaries and confirm that a given file has been published by a given
vendor in a trusted manner. Additionally, the SDK uses a whitelist of file hashes of common applications in the cases
where a file certificate is not available.
The VIPRE SDK also avoids false positives and bad definition sets from being rolled out and being deployed in
production by passing each and every threat definition through multiple comprehensive quality assurance tests,
checking for false positives and verifying detection and remediation accuracy.

Building for Success
GFI has translated years of hands-on and in-the-trenches experience researching, identifying, and remediating the most
sophisticated of malware in order to develop its next-generation anti-malware protection technology. The VIPRE SDK is
not a result of cobbled together functions built on top of older generation antivirus engines. The VIPRE SDK is designed
using the latest design best practices and cutting edge technology, delivering the best detection, remediation, and
performance. Equally important, the VIPRE SDK does not use any sourced technology components.
The VIPRE SDK creates the opportunity for software developers, solution providers, and OEM partners to design,
develop, and deliver specialized yet economical high performance, best-of-breed, security-enabled applications using
its lightweight, real-time anti-malware protection engine with minimal development time.
top Features and Benefits

top rated performance: VIPRE delivers high speed and memory efficient scanning through the use of its advanced
technology engine. The result is the lowest possible impact on CPU and memory. Experience top-notch security with
all the functionality you need and nothing you don’t – ensuring optimal performance for your end users.
MX-Virtualization™ (MX-V): MX-V malware analysis technology rapidly analyzes potential malware by observing
its behavior in a virtual environment so that malware never actually executes on a user’s machine. Because MX-V uses
the fastest emulation technique available, Dynamic Translation, it is extremely fast, able to identify potential threats
by observing their behavior without compromising system performance. MX-V technology helps protect users from
many unidentified or new variants of malware without the need for a specific signature or rule.
unmatched protection: Protection against known and unknown threats using a combination of proprietary
detection methods including signature-based capabilities, behavioral-based analysis, heuristics, and dynamic

Alternate Data Streams (ADS), and registry keys. Your application can optionally block Java script, VB scripts, and ActiveX
controls as well.
VIPRE includes comprehensive protection against email viruses, with direct support for Outlook, Outlook Express and
Windows Mail along with support for any other email program that uses POP3 and SMTP.
Included in the VIPRE SDK are pre-defined IDS rules that are updated through VIPRE threat signatures. You also have the
ability to write detailed rules based on the Snort® language to complement your own application and target security
profiles. Rules can be made to block administrator-defined inbound or outbound traffic allowing you flexibility in your
own implementations of the SDK.
real-time updates: In addition to traditional analysis methods, GFI uses its own GFI Sandbox™ automated malware
analysis technology to identify malicious files and create signatures without the need for human intervention. GFI’s
teams of researchers in North America and Asia monitor this process, verify the signature effectiveness and write new
behavioral signatures where needed. The resulting definitions are updated frequently throughout each day using the
continuous update service. This assures that your offering and its users, have the latest, fully-tested threat definitions
available to them when it is needed.

endless possibilities: placing the protection where it Matters
With malware and other malicious activity becoming quite sophisticated and the perimeters surrounding our information
systems and data dissolving, we are seeing a trend where malware protection is being placed not just at the system levels
of the gateway, server, and endpoint, but also at the web application layer, often embedded directly within the application.
This is especially true in the instances where the systems, applications, and data are hosted and managed by 3rd-party
service providers where traditional perimeter protections may not be enough in the eyes of the consumer using the
service.
A cloud-based file storage and collaboration service with anti-malware technologies directly built in to them would be one
example of enabling an organization to place the desired anti-malware protections as close as possible to the points where
it matters most – right where the data is uploaded, stored, accessed, and manipulated.
in Closing: it’s about the partnership
The decision to integrate malware protection into your product offerings is not one that can be taken lightly. When taking
steps to integrate malware protection into your offering, it is critical that the best technology be coupled with top-notch
service and support. The right partner can make or break your success. Choose wisely to ensure you get the most out of
your integration, delivering the best possible protection-enabled solution to your customers.
