CSI / Edge System CSI / Edge System ImpactImpact
Edge: All components combined, produces only an 11MB RAM footprint.
CSI: Virtually no overhead when idle and shrinks to a 6MB RAM footprint.
Consistently low / transparent CPU usage: After 1 hour of heavy system use, Edge required only 24 seconds of kernel + user CPU time for realtime scanning.
Both products require less than 10 MB of available disk space and will run on computers with less than 64MB of physical RAM.

Without Edge: With Edge:
Edge impacted system performance by only 0.34% percent across a wide range of CPU, disk, and graphics benchmarks.

Scan SpeedScan Speed
Although CSI scans extremely quickly, its rootkit scan and system analysis is as thorough as possible. It achieves this speed with some technical breakthroughs:
• The ability to duplicate the master file table (MFT) in memory and analyze files in an optimized sequence
• The ability to search through the system for duplicate/specific files in less than 1/100,000th of the time a standard search takes (0.01 seconds versus 20 minutes)
• The ability to analyze the system registry as a whole by reading it raw from the system and reorganizing it into a more optimized database format for on-demand analysis
• The ability to intelligently read the disk at a raw level, completely circumventing the Windows API, subsystem, and kernel
• The ability to use centralized, server-side resources to analyze behavior quickly and without requiring user resources

Rootkit DetectionRootkit Detection
• Rootkit scanning and low-level system analysis is the reason for the fast scan speed
• Uses a cross-section approach on raw disk structures, registry, and memory structures
• Reports all findings centrally to the database to ignore legitimate system modifications done by security products, etc. to prevent user confusion:

Rootkit RemediationRootkit Remediation
• CSI removes rootkits by restructuring system components without the rootkits present before shutdown rather than falling into a race condition on bootup as other products do
• This provides stable rootkit removal which can remove any rootkit from the MBR rootkit to Rustock to TDSServ generically without having to write specific routines for each
• Spyware/usermode threat remediation isolates the threats from the rest of the system by closing or suspending open connections which the threats have and then forcing them to be removed, either from usermode or with the raw disk access modules

These tests were performed on the same system with two rootkits active and an active usermode spyware infection. All three products detected the rootkits, but as CSI’s scan contains not only a
rootkit scan, it also identified the active spyware infection which the other products missed.

• CSI Enterprise roadmap includes integration with standard Network Security Monitoring consoles, such as HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, CA Unicenter, etc - thus providing quick integration of the agent with existing management solutions.
• Prevx eSAC is being developed to include the principles of a proprietary Network Access Control system, that follows and expands upon the goals of TNC in maintaining the ideals of integrity and identity.
