The document discusses cybersecurity threats facing organizations and how traditional antivirus solutions are often unable to stop advanced malware. It introduces Glasswall's Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology, which regenerates files to remove risks like malware while preserving file contents. CDR analyzes files at the visual, functional, and structural layers to sanitize them according to policy. This allows Glasswall to stay ahead of evolving threats unlike antivirus solutions.

1. Safety and Integrity
Through Trusted Files

2. The threats organisations face
of organisations say
threats they see can’t be
stopped by anti-virus
solutions
Almost all email-based
cyber attacks begin with
luring employees into
clicking on malicious
content
of advanced malware
launches by opening an
attachment
Every 4.2 seconds a new
variant of malware is
created
Malware morphs and spreads at such a rate that
malicious files are often missed, with disastrous
consequences for organisations
Antivirus and sandboxing technologies seek to
identify and remove dangerous files by focusing
on the ‘known bad’, leaving them a step behind
bad actors

3. The threats organisations face
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) reports that the average
cost of a cyber security breach is between $0.8m - $1.3m
$0.8m - $1.3m
$133,000
Ransomware attacks (a variant of malware) cost businesses on
average $133,000 per incident, according to the latest ‘State of
Endpoint Security’ survey
$300m
In 2017, Maersk lost $300m due to disruption to operations and
destroyed servers caused by ransomware
$130m
In 2017, a ransomware attack cost the UK’s National Health Service
over $130m
$140m
In January 2020, Travelex lost $140m from one month of suspended
trading caused by ransomware

4. Our solution Content, Disarm and
Reconstruction (CDR)
Glasswall regenerates files and
documents to a standard of ‘known
good’, delivering proactive protection.
We remediate file structures back into
line with their published specification
and remove risky Active Content by
policy. This technology is referred to by
Gartner as Content, Disarm and
Reconstruction (CDR).
Files are regenerated in milliseconds
in their original file format with the
visual content completely
untouched.
No blocking, no patching and no
false positives that hold back
important business documents. Only
safe, secure and trusted files.
By regenerating a file to a safe
standard of ‘known good’ we are
always ahead of bad actors, whereas
antivirus solutions are always, at
best, one step behind.

5. How it works
Visual
Content layer
This is the layer
presented to the
viewer, the only layer
you see
Functional layer
RISKS:
DOE Ransomware, Malicious
Macro & JavaScript,
Corrupted Acroform and
Phishing URLs
File is threat
free, and now
conforms to a
safe and
trusted
standard
Text, graphics and
formatting are lifted up
Words, context and visual
appearance are in stasis
during regeneration process
Sanitisation
Policy Applied
Removal of DDE, Macros,
JavaScript,Embedded
Files, URL links &
Acroforms
File Structure
Remediation
Fie is regenerated back to
the original. threat-free file
specification, as designed
by the manufacturer
DEEP-FILE INSPECTION REMEDIATION & SANITISATION TECHNOLOGY
File Structure layer
RISKS:
Sophisticated APTs,
Advance ‘File-less’
Malware, Hidden
Malicious Scripts
Visual
Content layer
The user receives an identical
document with complete
integrity and no loss of
resolution
Functional
layer
Controlled by policy, the
customer has total flexibility to
remove unnecessary functional
features in files
File
Structure layer
File is threat-free and now
conforms to a safe and trusted
standard

6. What Gartner says about CDR
“CDR neutralises all potentially
malicious content, without
requiring multiple antivirus
scanning or sandboxing.”
“We expect CDR will
ultimately be considered
a best practice.”
“CDR is an important layer
in any organisation’s
defence and content
protection strategies.”
“CDR should be evaluated as
an effective means of
thwarting content borne
attacks.”
“CDR’s near-real-time process is
an effective approach to
removing malware and other
exploits from files.”
“CDR can eliminate one of the
most common infection vectors
that is hard to deal with in other
ways.”
Gartner Benefit Rating:
High
Two to five years to
mainstream adoption
