The Advanced Threat Scan Engine (ATSE) uses a
combination of pattern-based scanning and heuristic scanning to detect document exploits
and other
threats used in targeted attacks.
Major features include:
-
Detection of zero-day threats
-
Detection of embedded exploit code
-
Detection rules for known vulnerabilities
-
Enhanced parsers for handling file deformities
 |
ImportantBecause ATSE identifies both known and unknown advanced threats, enabling ATSE may
increase the
possibility of legitimate files being flagged as malicious. Trend Micro
recommends sending detected files to a controlled virtual environment for further
observation and
analysis.
