Zero-Day Malware in 2025: Defending Against the Unknown

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, zero-day malware represents one of the most formidable challenges facing organizations worldwide. Unlike conventional threats that can be identified by signature-based detection methods, zero-day malware operates entirely below the radar—unknown to security vendors and undetectable by traditional scanning technologies. These sophisticated threats exploit the gap between malware innovation and …

Separating Substance from Marketing: What Makes File Security Truly Deep

In the cybersecurity industry, terminology often becomes a battleground where marketing creativity competes with technical reality. Recent years have seen the emergence of terminology suggesting certain Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) solutions penetrate file structures more “deeply” than others. CDR technology, by its very nature, should always be thorough and comprehensive regardless of marketing qualifiers. …

Fortifying the Perimeter: Static Code Analysis and CDR in a Layered Defense Strategy

In the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, a layered security approach is paramount. While Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) offers a robust method for sanitizing document-based threats by reconstructing files to eliminate active content, its efficacy is limited when dealing with executable files. Executables, by their nature, cannot be reconstructed without altering their fundamental operation, …
