IBM Trusteer Rapport

Rule-Based Detection

IBM Trusteer Rapport's Rule-Based Detection feature uses predefined security rules to identify suspicious activities or anomalies in real-time. This capability allows administrators to set specific criteria or policies based on known threats and vulnerabilities. When the system identifies an activity matching these defined rules, it automatically triggers alerts or takes preventive actions. This ensures organizations can swiftly detect known malicious behavior, significantly reducing the risk of successful cyberattacks and minimizing potential financial losses and reputational damage.

Behavioral Analysis

The Behavioral Analysis feature continuously monitors user and application activity patterns to establish a baseline of normal behavior. By leveraging advanced analytics, Trusteer Rapport identifies deviations from this baseline, indicating potential threats or unauthorized activities. This proactive approach helps businesses detect sophisticated attacks—including previously unknown threats—that traditional detection methods might overlook. As a result, organizations gain greater visibility into their digital environments, enabling faster intervention and reducing the window of opportunity for attackers.

Malware Detection

The Malware Detection feature within IBM Trusteer Rapport scans endpoint devices and browser sessions in real-time for indicators of malicious software. Utilizing a robust malware detection engine, the solution quickly identifies and flags malware attempting to infiltrate or compromise devices and systems. By promptly detecting malware threats, this feature helps businesses reduce risks associated with data theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized access, thereby preserving the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive business information.

Automated Remediation

IBM Trusteer Rapport’s Automated Remediation feature enables rapid response to identified threats by automatically applying corrective actions once malicious activity is detected. These automated responses may include quarantining suspicious files, blocking malicious processes, or reverting unauthorized changes made to system settings. Through automation, this feature significantly reduces manual intervention by IT teams, accelerates incident resolution time, mitigates damage from cyber incidents, and minimizes potential business disruptions.

Web Control

The Web Control feature allows administrators to enforce secure browsing policies across the organization’s endpoints by restricting access to potentially harmful or unauthorized websites. Using configurable rules, administrators can effectively manage website access based on risk profiles or organizational policies. This capability helps protect organizations against web-based threats such as drive-by downloads or malicious scripts embedded in compromised websites, thus enhancing overall security posture and ensuring compliance with internal security policies.

Threat Intelligence

IBM Trusteer Rapport leverages comprehensive Threat Intelligence feeds collected from global sources to stay ahead of emerging threats and evolving attack techniques. By continuously updating its database of known threat indicators—including malicious IP addresses, domains, file signatures, and attacker behaviors—this feature enables proactive detection and prevention measures across the organization's environment. With timely insights into ongoing cybersecurity developments, businesses can better anticipate threats and reduce their exposure to cyberattacks.

Risk Assessment

The Risk Assessment feature systematically evaluates endpoint devices and user activities against established risk parameters to determine potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses within the organization's digital infrastructure. It assigns risk scores based on various factors such as device health status, user behaviors, geographic location, or suspicious login attempts. Administrators can use these scores to prioritize remediation efforts effectively and allocate resources where they are most needed—enabling informed decision-making that reduces overall security risks.

Phishing Protection

IBM Trusteer Rapport’s Phishing Protection feature actively detects and blocks phishing attempts targeting users through fraudulent emails or deceptive websites designed to steal sensitive information (such as login credentials or financial data). By analyzing web pages visited by users in real-time and comparing them against known phishing indicators or suspicious patterns, this feature proactively prevents users from inadvertently submitting sensitive information to attackers. Consequently, businesses benefit from reduced risk of credential theft incidents and strengthened defenses against social engineering attacks aimed at employees or customers alike.
