An alternative to traditional CDR

As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, traditional defenses are no longer enough to protect your organization from hidden malware and other malicious content. Everfox Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) works differently from traditional CDR. Rather than relying on malware detection, it assumes that no part of the file can be trusted and builds a completely new file, omitting anything that isn’t known good. It's a game changer for evading unknown threats and zero-day exploits.

How Everfox CDR Works?

01. File Received – A document, image, email or other supported file type is received 02. Analysis & Recipe Creation – Everfox CDR examines the file’s legitimate content and creates a set of instructions (a recipe) for creating a new file with the same content, but without including any of the original data. 03. Original File Discarded – The original file is either discarded or stored securely, complete with any malware that might reside within, in your forensic suite for later analysis. 04. Recipe Verification – The generated recipe is verified to confirm it is complete, consistent, and not carrying anything extra. 05. File Reconstructions – The recipe is followed to create a new, clean file, equivalent to the original content. 06. Secure Delivery – The newly built functional file is delivered to the user in near real-time.

Everfox CDR Use Cases

Defeating advanced threats with Everfox CDR.

Email

It works with your existing email infrastructure to describe only the legitimate content in each file and build a clean version without using any original data. Hidden threats including zero day malware are removed in the process. The result is safe and functional files delivered in real time without relying on detection.

Web Browsing

Everfox CDR makes web browsing safe by transforming content before it reaches the user. Integrated with your existing Secure Web Gateways and firewalls, it describes only the legitimate content from webpages and builds a clean, fully functional file. Hidden threats are removed before anything reaches the browser, for a safe and functional browsing experience.

Custom Applications

Integrate Everfox CDR with your workflows using simple HTTP API calls. Everfox CDR describes only the safe content in each file and builds a clean functional version for secure sharing and opening. It works seamlessly with cloud storage, operating directly on files in AWS S3 buckets and Azure containers while removing hidden threats without relying on detection.

Web Services

By integrating Everfox CDR into your web services data flow, only the verified content is processed. For high-security environments, an optional hardware solution enables safe connection of distrusting networks without compromising integrity.

File Uploads

Everfox CDR delivers only clean, safe content to your portal applications by describing the valid file structure and rebuilding it without hidden threats. It integrates seamlessly with existing web apps or firewalls and can also connect directly through simple HTTP API calls.

File Transfer

Everfox CDR removes hidden threats from incoming files and removes sensitive data from outgoing ones by rebuilding files using only the valid business information. Deploy as software or add a hardware gateway to safely connect distrusting networks.

Key Features of Everfox Content Disarm and Reconstruction

Everfox CDR stands out in the cybersecurity landscape due to its innovative approach to data protection.

Proactive Protection

Unlike conventional threat detection techniques that rely on identifying known threats, Everfox CDR examines only the file’s legitimate content, creates a verified set of instructions, and builds a clean version from scratch. This removes even the most advanced threats including new and unknown malware.

Zero Reliance on Detection

While most cybersecurity solutions depend on detecting malicious code, Everfox CDR does not rely on signatures or detection. Instead, it builds clean fully functional files from verified content only, eliminating threats before they reach your systems and reducing the risk of even unknown or evasive malware.

File Integrity Preservation

Everfox CDR examines files, verifies only the safe content, and builds clean versions without losing essential information or functionality across a wide range of file types including PDFs, Office documents, images and more.

Real-Time Processing

Content is disarmed and reconstructed in real time, with no lengthy delays as experienced with technologies such as sandboxing.

Minimal Administrative Overhead

By eliminating false positive malware detections and reducing the need for manual intervention, Everfox CDR streamlines operations. Users experience minimal disruption, focusing on their core tasks while maintaining robust security.
