Key Capabilities / Features

Based on patented CDR technology, Glasswall Halo provides comprehensive file security through a range of key anti-malware features:

Zero-trust protection: Glasswall Halo delivers a rigorous approach to file security by treating all files as untrusted, validating their structure, rebuilding them to known-good standards and removing potential threats before delivery to end users.

Scalable architecture: Built on a Kubernetes foundation, Halo delivers enterprise-grade scalability for processing high volumes of data. The platform's cloud-native design enables efficient handling of workloads from gigabytes to petabytes while maintaining consistent performance.

Integration flexibility: The solution offers multiple integration options, including synchronous and asynchronous API endpoints, ICAP support for real-time threat removal within network security infrastructure and server caching to optimize performance. These capabilities ensure seamless deployment within existing security ecosystems.

Cross-domain security: Through its Constellations extension, Halo enables secure file transfers across trust boundaries, supporting complex data operations while maintaining strict security controls. This capability is particularly valuable for organizations managing sensitive information across different security domains.

Compliance support: Glasswall Halo helps organizations meet stringent security standards and regulatory requirements, including alignment with the NCSC's Pattern for Safely Importing Data, NSA's Raise the Bar Initiative and NIST Risk Management frameworks.

Comprehensive threat protection: Halo's CDR technology effectively neutralizes a wide range of file-based threats, including ransomware, malware and zero-day exploits, without relying on traditional detection-based methods. This approach ensures protection against both known and emerging threats.

How we are different

Halo revolutionizes file security through its zero-trust CDR approach, eliminating reliance on traditional detection-based systems used by many anti-malware solutions. By treating all files as untrusted and rebuilding them to known-good standards, it provides comprehensive protection against both known and unknown threats, including sophisticated zero-day exploits. This fundamental shift in approach delivers superior security outcomes compared to conventional solutions that depend on threat identification.

The solution's cloud-native, Kubernetes-based architecture sets new standards for scalability and integration in enterprise security solutions. Its ability to handle massive data volumes while maintaining performance through features such as ICAP support and server caching demonstrates exceptional technical capability. In addition, Halo’s seamless integration capabilities through API endpoints and support for cross-domain operations make it particularly valuable for complex environments and cloud migrations.

Halo has established itself as a trusted anti-malware solution within the most security-conscious sectors, including defense, intelligence and government organizations. Its alignment with stringent security frameworks and standards, such as the NSA's Raise the Bar Initiative, demonstrates its capability to meet the highest security requirements. Halo has also been adopted by major Cloud Service Providers, who rely on it to enhance their cloud infrastructure security, further underlining its effectiveness and reliability.
