Whitepaper: From Containment to Protection

This white paper explores the differences between traditional sandboxing a commonly used technique for malware detection and threat containment and Xcitium ZeroDwell Containment, an ext-generation approach to protecting endpoints without disrupting user experience. Traditional sandboxing typically executes suspicious files in isolated environments to observe behavior but suffers from performance drawbacks and delays in threat resolution. In contrast, Xcitium ZeroDwell Containment moves unknown files to virtualized execution, enabling undisrupted user operations while concurrently analyzing the threat, thus reducing time to verdict and avoiding the performance limitations that impact sandboxing.
