1 Modern Malware Mixer

2 Jul-10Jul-11 Palo Alto Networks at a Glance Corporate Highlights Disruptive Network Security Platform Safely Enabling Applications Able to Address All Network Security Needs Exceptional Growth and Global Presence Experienced Technology and Management Team 800+ Employees Revenue Enterprise Customers $MM FYE July Page 2 | © 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential. Jul-12

3 Leading the Way in Next-Generation Firewalls © 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.Page 3 | Gartner Enterprise Network Firewall Magic Quadrant - Palo Alto Networks recognized as a Leader Forrester IPS Market Overview - Strong IPS solution; demonstrates effective consolidation NetworkWorld Test - Most stringent NGFW test to date; validated sustained performance NSS Tests - IPS: Palo Alto Networks NGFW tested against competitors standalone IPS devices; NSS Recommended - Firewall: traditional port-based firewall test; Palo Alto Networks most efficient by a wide margin; NSS Recommended - NGFW: Palo Alto Networks best combination of protection, performance, and value; NSS Recommended (1 of only 3)

4 What Has Changed / What Is the Same The attacker changed - Nation-states - Criminal organizations - Political groups Attack strategy evolved - Patient, multi-step process - Compromise user, then expand Attack techniques evolved - New ways of delivering malware - Hiding malware communications - Signature avoidance The Sky is Not Falling - Not new, just more common - Solutions exist - Dont fall into the APT ate my homework trap Page 4 |© 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.

5 Strategy: Patient Multi-Step Intrusions The Enterprise Infection Command and Control Escalation Exfiltration Organized Attackers Page 5 |© 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.

6 Challenges to Traditional Security Threats coordinate multiple techniques, while security is segmented into silos - Social Engineering, Exploits, malware, spyware, obfuscation all part of a patient, multi-step intrusion Threats take advantage of security blind spots to keep from being seen - Patient attacks must repeatedly cross the perimeter without being detected Targeted and custom malware can bypass traditional signatures - The leading edge of an attack is increasingly malware that has never been seen before Page 6 |© 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.

7 Regaining Control over Modern Threats New Requirements for Threat Prevention 1. Visibility into all traffic regardless of port, protocol, evasive tactic or SSL 2. Stop all types of known network threats (IPS, Anti-malware, URL, etc.) while maintaining multi-gigabit performance 3. Find and stop new and unknown threats even without a pre-existing signature Page 7 |© 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.

8 Visibility © 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.Page 8 | Visibility is fundamental - You cant stop what you cant see - Virtually all threats other than DoS depend on avoiding security Full stack inspection of all traffic - All traffic, on all ports, all the time - Progressive decoding of traffic to find hidden, tunneled streams - Contextual decryption of SSL Control the applications that hide traffic - Limit traffic to approved proxies, remote desktop applications - Block bad applications like encrypted tunnels, circumventors

9 Control the Methods Threats Use to Hide Encrypted traffic SSL is the new standard Proxies Reverse proxies are hacker favorites Remote desktop Increasingly standard Compressed content ZIP files, compressed HTTP Encrypted tunnels Hamachi, Ultrasurf, Tor Purpose-built to avoid security Encryption (e.g. SSL) Compression (e.g. GZIP) Proxies (e.g. CGIProxy) Circumventors and Tunnels Outbound C&C Traffic If you cant see it, you cant stop it Page 9 |© 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.

10 Block the Applications That Hide Traffic Block unneeded and high-risk applications Block (or limit) peer-to-peer applications Block unneeded applications that can tunnel other applications Review the need for applications known to be used by malware Block anonymizers such as Tor Block encrypted tunnel applications such as UltraSurf Limit use to approved proxies Limit use of remote desktop Page 10 |© 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.

11 Control Known Threats Validated and proven IPS - 93.4% Block Rate at NSS Labs while maintaining data sheet performance Stream-based anti-malware - Millions of malware samples, 50,000 new samples analyzed daily - Stream-based analysis enables in- line analysis at line speeds Full context - Clear visibility into all URLs, users, applications and files connected to a particular threat Brute Force Code-Execution Denial of Service Data Leakage Overflow Scanning SQL Injection Botnets Browser Hijacks Adware Backdoors Keyloggers Net-Worms Peer-to-Peer Page 11 |© 2012 Palo Alto Networks.

13 Single-Pass Parallel Processing (SP3) Architecture Single Pass Operations once per packet - Traffic classification (app identification) - User / group mapping - Content scanning – threats, URLs, confidential data One policy Parallel Processing Function-specific parallel processing hardware engines Separate data / control planes Up to 20Gbps, Low Latency © 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.Page 13 |

14 © 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.Page 14 | Okay, but what about unknown and targeted malware?

15 The Malware Window of Opportunity Time required to capture 1 st sample of malware in the wild Time required to create and verify malware signature Time before antivirus definitions are updated Days and weeks until users are protected by traditional signatures Total Time Exposed © 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.Page 15 |

17 Controlling Unknown Malware Using the Next-Generation Firewall Introducing WildFire - New feature of the Palo Alto Networks NGFW - Captures unknown inbound files and analyzes them for 70+ malicious behaviors - Analysis performed in a cloud-based, virtual sandbox Automatically generates signatures for identified malware - Infecting files and command-and-control - Distributes signatures to all firewalls via regular threat updates Provides forensics and insight into malware behavior - Actions on the target machine - Applications, users and URLs involved with the malware © 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.Page 17 |

18 WildFire Architecture © 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.Page 18 | WildFire Analysis Center Potentially malicious files from Internet Protection delivered to all customer firewalls Policy-based forwarding to WildFire for analysis Sandbox-based analysis looks for over 80 malicious behaviors Generates detailed forensics report Creates antivirus and C&C signatures

20 Case Study - Password Stealing Botnets Overview Threat Type Botnet, similar to the notorious ZeuS banking botnet Target Targets end-users with the goal of stealing passwords Transmission Methods Heavy use of email, Some use of HTTP Key Actions Steals email and FTP credentials Steals cookies from browsers Decrypts and sniffs SSL sessions Uses anti-VM techniques File Name(s) American_Airlines_E-Ticket-printing-copy DHL-express-tracking-delivery-notification Initial Detection Rates Very low detection rates, sometimes for several days. Heavy use of packers. © 2012 Palo Alto Networks. Proprietary and Confidential.Page 20 |

21 Case Study: Re-emergence of Waledac Originally a spamming botnet, taken down by Microsoft in 2010 when the C2 servers were taken over On Feb 2nd 2012, WildFire detected new variant of Waledac code on customer networks Botnet has been enhanced to obtain credentials for FTP, SMTP, POP3, and more with full packet capture on the host Since initial discovery, WildFire has seen hundreds of unique samples of the botnet malware across 78 customer networks © 2012 Palo Alto Networks.
