Cylance vs Sality Malware
https://www.ispeech.org/text.to.speech
Sality has terrorized computer users since 2003, a year when personal digital assistants (PDAs) made tech headlines and office PCs ran Windows XP. Over the intervening years users traded their PDAs for smartphones and desktops migrated to newer operating systems and digital workplace solutions. Sality, however, survived the breakneck pace of technological innovation and continues to threaten organizations today.
The Sality virus infects local executables, removable storage, and remotely shared drives. It creates a peer-to-peer botnet which facilitates the downloading and execution of other malware. Sality can perform malicious code injection and modify its entry point to force code execution. This malware remains viable by adopting the successful strategies of other threats, implementing techniques like rootkit/backdoor capability, keylogging, and worm-like propagation.
Users of CylancePROTECT® will be happy to learn that we detect and prevent Sality before it executes. By preventing Sality from launching, we protect our customers from this venerable malware and the numerous other threats it seeks to deploy. Sality may be long-lived, but it will not survive on machines secured by CylancePROTECT.
