Description of solution

Sasa Software’s GateScanner suite features proprietary Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology to provide financial service companies with comprehensive file-sanitization to support high-security network segmentation and zero-trust applications. GateScanner cleanses all incoming content arriving on all channels – email, USB, computing devices, cloud shares, API’s, web downloads, public-facing portals and more, effectively blocking up to 99.99% of known and unknown (‘signature-less’) file-embedded malware.

What is the value you bring to your customers?

Financial services are undergoing a dramatic digital transformation due to the ever-growing need to provide their services remotely and online. Companies have digitized many of their processes and moved parts of their infrastructure to the Cloud. This transformation has made them more exposed to cyber-attack through a massive new range of applications, devices, and infrastructure components — any of which could offer cybercriminals an open door into the company’s network and its data.

The average total spend of mid-sized financial services organizations worldwide recovering from ransomware attacks was estimated at over $2M.Targeted ransomware attacks dig deep into targeted networks, encrypt the most valuable assets and demand significant ransoms for the entire network value..

Most ransomware attacks begin with a file-based infiltration arriving on a standard channel such as email. Standard AV tools are not capable of detecting new/unknown, hence ‘signature-less’, malware, rendering them useless in the face of the highly sophisticated, government-grade malicious code now employed by today’s attackers.

GateScanner’s Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) cybersecurity technology strips all incoming files of all but their operational content, and encapsulates it in a completely new, pristine file. This government-grade file sanitization technology, available until recently only to government agencies and national critical infrastructure, is now available to all sectors, bringing advanced cybersecurity capability anywhere where the protection of sensitive digital assets is paramount to the continuing viability of the enterprise.

Following implementation of GateScanner CDR protection systems, clients have seen a 99% decrease in intrusion attempts arriving through their content channels.
