REACT

Introduction

Advanced Cybersecurity Threats can compromise software and automatically propagate from host to host all over the Internet, without any end-user intervention. The massive infection of hosts can disrupt many services and cause annoyance, significant financial loss, or even affect the operation of life-critical infrastructures such as nuclear plants, and hospitals. ReAct aims to fight software exploitation, and mitigate such Advanced Cybersecurity Threats in a timely fashion, based on four complementary actions:

• Probes actively, and in a transparent and ethical way, the network for identifying unknown vulnerabilities.
• Once aware of new vulnerabilities, automatically patches all vulnerable hosts of an organization, using software instrumentation, and secures them temporarily, until the official patch of the vulnerability is published.
• Detects exploited hosts and immediately isolates them from the rest of the network to limit malware propagation.
• Analyzes security incidents for forecasting future cybersecurity threats.
