Conventional Security
Unconventional Threats
Conventional Security for third-party applications (such as ● Firewalls ● Antivirus ● Antimalware ● Web proxies ● Secure browsers ● EDR/XDR ● WAF ● Sandboxes) screens against known vulnerabilities and common malware. Yet, these systems often lack the deep content analysis and active neutralization capabilities required to combat complex, polymorphic, or zero-day threats hidden within arrived files.
Risky Pathways
By Third-Party Applications
Organizational websites, organizationally private developed applications, and security systems (such as Web Proxies) frequently involve receiving files from external entities and integrating them into internal workflows. This essential functionality, however, represents a significant entry point for sophisticated file-based cyber threats.

Yazam URL
The Yazam Engine features a dedicated filter for Shortcuts that exist in various file types, such as PDF, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio), HTML, XML, and Plain Text.
Part of the Shortcuts filter looks for malicious URLs in the files. It is achieved by utilizing the Yazam URL cloud service operated by YazamTech, which includes an updated database of hundreds of thousands of hostile URLs that is updated hourly
