BEAST is a behavioral detection technology designed to identify new and previously unknown malware by recording and analyzing complete system activity. Instead of relying on traditional isolated behavior checks, it captures system events and their relationships in a comprehensive behavioral graph. This graph-based approach enables a holistic view of process interactions, file modifications, registry changes, and other system activities. By analyzing these relationships, BEAST can identify malicious processes with high precision and stop them immediately. In addition to detection, BEAST supports remediation of the entire infection chain. Through graph analysis, it traces malicious activities back to their origin and helps remove related components. The technology is designed to complement existing security systems by adding a structured and relationship-focused detection layer.
