HYKER CDR

Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR)

Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) is an advanced cybersecurity technology from Glasswall which is designed to neutralize threats, such as malware and ransomware, in files.

CDR removes threats from files.

CDR is a data protection filter based on the zero-trust principle that restores files and documents in a secure and clean format – free from the risk of malware. CDR prevents malicious files from entering the network and is used for secure file transfer across various security boundaries.

CDR is safer than antivirus and sandboxing.

Unlike solutions that rely on identification, CDR does not attempt to detect malicious code – it simply removes the possibility of it existing. This zero-trust strategy often neutralizes overlooked advanced threats, such as zero-day malware, high-risk active code, and anomalies in file structures.

CDR maintains the file's functionality

Many conventional data filters flatten files (turn them into images) for use in high-risk environments. Files that are cleaned by CDR are visually identical and fully functional.

CDR helps teams manage risks

CDR offers organizations a comprehensive analysis of the threats within files, enabling security teams to remove or manage high-risk content in accordance with their risk appetite.

1. Inspect

Breaks down the file into its constituent components. Validates the file’s structure against its specification

2. Rebuild

Unknown and invalid file structures are repaired in-line with the file’s specification

3. Clean

Removes high-risk file structures that contain active content, based on configurable policy

4. Deliver

Semantic checks ensure the file’s integrity. The safe and fully functional file is now ready to use
