Cyber threats come in many different forms and constantly evolve, but file-based threats remain one of the most effective and persistent because traditional tools can struggle to spot them, especially if they’re new or zero-day.
File protection specialist Glasswall is launching a new AI-powered solution that applies machine learning with deep Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) analysis deliver predictive insight into file-based threats, helping organizations identify and stop new and unknown malware, including zero-day attacks.
Unlike behavioral sandboxing or internet-trained AI models that rely on detonation or external threat feeds, Glasswall Foresight gets its intelligence directly from deterministic file structure analysis generated during Glasswall’s CDR process.
By combining machine learning with Glasswall’s proven CDR technology, the solution provides visibility into the malicious nature of files, including those that have been safely processed or cannot be modified. This enables security teams to better understand the level of file-based threat activity in their environments.
Paul Farrington, chief product and marketing officer at Glasswall says, “With Glasswall Foresight, we are applying machine learning to the deep structural insight generated by our Content Disarm and Reconstruction technology to give security teams a clearer understanding of the hostile file activity entering their environments, including in offline or air-gapped conditions where conventional approaches fall short. Combining the assurance that we make a file safe with the knowledge of whether it has ever been compromised is compelling. Many organizations invest heavily in sandboxing infrastructure that is slow, noisy, and expensive. Glasswall’s Zero Trust CDR combined with Foresight provides a clear path to reducing both that expenditure and the associated operational overhead.”
Foresight is designed to complement, rather than replace, existing CDR workflows, extending Glasswall’s Zero Trust approach from file sanitization into actionable threat intelligence. Integrated into Glasswall Meteor, Foresight enables organizations to better understand file-based threat activity while maintaining preventive, policy-driven controls.
