Attack Detection Fundamentals 2021: macOS - Lab #3. By Calum Hall and Luke Roberts on 14 April 2021. As we enter the final Lab of F-Secure Consulting's Attack Detection Fundamental's macOS workshop we must reflect on what we have a covered so far. F?Secure Internet Security protects you against existing and emerging online threats. It's very quick to install, simple to use, and it doesn't slow down your computer. An F-Secure representative explained that ransomware protection is an extension of DeepGuard's behavioral analysis. Merely modifying a file in a protected folder isn't enough to trigger it.

F-Secure Corporation (formerly Data Fellows) is a global cyber security and privacy company with over 30 offices around the world and is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland.

The company has nearly 30 offices around the globe and a presence in more than 100 countries, with Security Lab operations in Helsinki and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The company develops and sells antivirus, password management, endpoint security, consulting services and other cyber security products and services. With Rapid Detection & Response (EDR) and F-Secure Countercept (MDR) as flagship offerings, the company continues to expand into the corporate market.

History[edit]

F-Secure was first established under the name Data Fellows by Petri Allas and Risto Siilasmaa on May 16, 1988. Data Fellows trained computer users and built customized databases. Three years later, the company launched its first major software project and developed the first heuristic scanner for antivirus products. F-Secure’ first antivirus product for Windows PCs was launched in 1994. Data Fellows became F-Secure in 1999. F-Secure was the first company that developed an anti-rootkit technology called BlackLight in 2005.[3]

F Secure Sign In

In June 2015, F-Secure expanded into the enterprise market by acquiring nSense, a Danish company that specializes in security consultation and vulnerability assessment.[4] The purchase of Inverse Path, a privately owned Italian security consultancy with experience in avionics, automative, and industrial control sectors, in February 2017 continues the expansion of its cyber security services.[5]

F-Secure Client Security received AV-TEST Best Protection award for the fifth time in 2016.[6]

In June 2018, F-Secure acquired security company MWR InfoSecurity for 80 million pounds ($106 million).[7][8]

Academia[edit]

In co-operation with Aalto University School of Science and Technology, F-Secure runs a one semester course for future virus analysts, with some material available on-line.[9]

Controversies[edit]

After the media coverage of Magic Lantern and claims by some AV vendors to purposely leave a backdoor for it in their products, F-Secure announced their policy on detecting these spying programs:

'F-Secure Corporation would like to make known that we will not leave such backdoors to our F-Secure Anti-Virus products, regardless of the source of such tools. We have to draw a line with every sample we get regarding whether to detect it or not. This decision-making is influenced only by technical factors, and nothing else, but within the applicable laws and regulations, in our case meaning EU laws.

'We will also be adding detection of any program we see that might be used for terrorist activity or to benefit organized crime. We would like to state this for the record, as we have received queries regarding whether we would have the guts to detect something obviously made by a known violent mafia or terrorist organization. Yes we would.'[10]
