Today, Cato Networks has released an analysis of the network flows across its platform during Q1, 2021, seeking anomalous behavior in approximately 200 billion traffic flows during Q1, 2021.
"Blocking network traffic to and from 'the usual suspects' may not necessarily make your organization more secure," comments Etay Maor, senior director of security strategy at Cato Networks.
The Cato report notes the ability of SASE to analyze and correlate suspicious data flows.
Cato detected common factors in the domains: all of 32 characters using a hex string - and the domains had the same TLD. The malware also uses the low and slow technique, only communicating with its C2 every two weeks.
Cato neither identifies nor names the malware in its report - but that's not the purpose of the SASE software.
Headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, Cato Networks raised $77 million by in a Series D funding round in April 2020, followed by a further $130 million in a Series E round in November 2020.
