What is CDR?
With the proliferation of remote work and file sharing, file-borne malware has become a bigger threat. Increasing threats have led organizations to increase their security strategies, especially in the face of the complexity of cyber attacks. File-based attacks are becoming one of the areas where traditional methods fall short. Therefore, applying next-generation security measures is a critical step. CDR (Content Disarm & Reconstruction), i.e. content deactivation and restructuring, is one of these measures.
Since cyberattacks often focus on the e-mail network channel, CDR technology is important to reduce risk and receive secure files. CDR operates on the assumption that all files may contain malware. In this way, it cleans and recreates files from potentially harmful content. CDR, like most solutions, does not rely solely on detecting and detecting threats, its main purpose is to secure files regardless of whether they contain threats or not.
CDR technology can be implemented on a variety of platforms such as email, web browsers, file servers, FTP, cloud services, and other computer endpoint devices. At the same time, from the point of view of corporate security, it is an effective solution for securing files shared within the company.
What are the advantages?
80% of successful breaches are new or unknown zero-day attacks that are not recognized by traditional signature-based detection solutions. CDR protects against these attacks thanks to a different approach to other solutions.
Since CDR cleans files in real time, it makes it possible to work safely without any interruption in business processes.
Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements. Secure files can be processed in accordance with legal obligations.
