HyperDetect
BitdefenderHyperDetect is an additional layer of security specifically designed to detect advanced attacks and suspicious activities in the pre-execution stage.
HyperDetect enhances the security measures by incorporating an additional layer of protection to the current scanning technologies such as On-Access, On-Demand, and Traffic Scan. This added layer is specifically designed to combat the latest forms of cyber-attacks, including advanced persistent threats. HyperDetect significantly improves the effectiveness of the Antimalware and Content Control protection modules by incorporating advanced heuristics that are based on artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques.
HyperDetect is a powerful tool that can accurately anticipate and identify specific attacks, as well as effectively identify advanced malware before it is executed. This advanced technology enables HyperDetect to swiftly identify threats, surpassing the capabilities of traditional signature-based or behavioural scanning methods.
Components
HyperDetect uses the following components:
GravityZone Control Center
Security agent (Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools installed on Windows, Linux, & Mac endpoints)
Security Server Multi-Platform
Install and configure HyperDetect
To start using this feature, follow the steps below:
Note
This feature functions through the Antimalware module, which is included by default in all installation packages. If you already have the BEST agent installed on your endpoints, no further deployment is required.
Log in to GravityZone Control Center.
Go to the Installation Packages page from the left side menu.
Click the Create button in the upper-right side of the screen.
Type in the Name and Description for the new installation package.
Select the modules you wish to deploy.
Note
Make sure you include the Antimalware module.
Click Save.
Select the newly created package from the list of packages and click Send download links.
Enter the email addresses of the recipients and click Send.
Important
We recommend initially deploying the module on only a small number of endpoints. Test out the feature and make sure the initial configuration matches your company's security profile and needs.
Once you have confirmed the initial configuration is suited for your needs, continue deploying the module on all target endpoints.
Policies are used to enable and configure features both on endpoints and in terms of general functionality.
GravityZone comes with a default set of policy settings, that are custom tailored to meet the most common customer needs.
You can use these default policy settings and leave the configuration of the policy for a later date, but you need to follow the steps below to enable the feature from the policy page:
Log in to GravityZone Control Center.
Go to the Policies page from the left side menu.
You can either:
Under Antimalware > Hyperdetect, configure the module.
Save your policy.
If you created a new policy, apply it on the endpoints where the feature is deployed.
Go to the Network page from the left side menu.
Select the endpoints you want to apply the policy to.
Click the
Assign Policy button at the upper side of the table.Select the policy you want to apply.
Click Finish.
Note
For more information, refer to Assigning device policies
If you have edited an existing policy, make sure it is applied to all endpoints where the feature is deployed.
This will ensure that the feature is enabled and configured to best suit your company's needs.
Testing out the feature
Log in to GravityZone Control Center.
Go to the Policies page from the left side menu.
Select one of the policies you are using and click Clone Policy.
Go to the Antimalware > Hyper Detect page.
Make sure the feature is enabled and that Suspicious files and network traffic option is set to Permissive.
Save the policy.
Apply the policy to one of your endpoint where you want to test the feature.
Download this file on the same endpoint.
Open the
.zipfile using thebdinfectedpassword.
The module will detect the file, will trigger an event, and move the file to quarantine.
Log in to GravityZone Control Center.
Go to the Policies page from the left side menu.
Select one of the policies you are using and click Clone Policy.
Go to the Antimalware > Hyper Detect page.
Make sure the feature is enabled and that Grayware option is set to Aggressive.
Save the policy.
Apply the policy to one of your endpoint where you want to test the feature.
Download this file on the same endpoint.
Open the
.zipfile using thebdinfectedpassword.Extract the
paranoia.4.3.exefile.Execute the file.
The module will detect the file, and will trigger an event.
Important
Once done testing, re-apply the original policy to the endpoint you used for testing.
View Hyperdetect activity
Depending on how you configured your policy, the module will take one of the following actions when a suspicious file or process is discovered:
For files: deny access, disinfect, delete, quarantine, or just report the file.
For network traffic: block or just report the suspicious traffic.
