Deep CDR™
File Regeneration that Protects from Evasive Malware and Zero-Day Exploits
Traditional antivirus solutions miss unknown threats. Deep CDR eliminates them entirely. Each file is disarmed and regenerated, ensuring only safe, clean and useable content reaches your systems.

Here’s Why Deep CDR Matters
Insufficient Protection
AI and heuristic-based anti-malware solutions don’t disarm all file-based threats.
Undetected Threats
Zero-day threats, targeted attacks, and evasive malware may go undetected by antivirus engines.
Evasive Malware Tactics
Evasive malware avoids detection by using obfuscation techniques like steganography to deliver compressed, archived, or encrypted payloads.
Macro and Script Limitations
Outright bans on macros in Office docs and JavaScript in PDFs are difficult to enforce and may limit vital functionality.
Incomplete Archive Scanning
Traditional CDR solutions are incapable of recursively scanning archives and zip files.
How It Works
By focusing on prevention rather than just detection, Deep CDR enhances anti-malware defenses, protecting organizations from file-based attacks, including targeted threats. It neutralizes potentially harmful objects in files traversing network traffic, email, uploads, downloads, and portable media before they reach your network.
Step 1Evaluate & Verify
The file type and consistency are evaluated, ensuring the correct file extensions to prevent file masquerading attacks.
- Step 2
Create & Hold
A placeholder file is created to securely hold approved content during the sanitization process.
- Step 3
Disarm & Rebuild
The original file is disarmed, and approved objects are moved into the placeholder, preserving the original file’s structure before regenerating usable components like pointers and tables.
- Step 4
Test & Validate
The regenerated file undergoes integrity testing to ensure it remains fully functional and threat-free.
- Step 5
Quarantine & Protect
The original file is quarantined for security and further analysis, preventing any residual threats from accessing the network.
