Project Freta for cloud security at scale
With the cloud security solution, you can analyze Linux system memory snapshots for advanced malware activity, including OS interference or sensor sabotage. Apart from that, Microsoft says that Freta will make it economically unviable for threat actors to build undetectable malware. Moreover, while performing memory scans, the system can sniff out rootkits and other advanced threats without alerting the malware. That makes it a lot more difficult for threat actors to build tools capable of breaching Project Freta’s sensors. Right now, the platform supports up to 4,000 Linux kernels. But that’s just the beginning of it all seeing as Windows support is also in the pipeline. Microsoft project Freta may finally achieve what traditional antimalware protection couldn’t, especially in the cloud. You can access it here. Documentation for the project is also available. Nonetheless, this is not the first time Microsoft is mulling or proposing a non-conventional or paradigm-shifting approach to the fight against cyber attacks. For example, you may have heard about the concept of hardware-backed security, which Microsoft considers vital to the detection and elimination of kernel-mode and firmware-level malware. We’d love to know what you think about Microsoft Project Freta. Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.
