FireEye’s software isolates incoming traffic in virtual containers and looks for suspicious activity in a sort of virtual petri dish before deciding whether to let the traffic through.

“The antivirus products are not working right now,” Mr. DeWalt said. “Companies are spending tens of billions of dollars of their money on a model that doesn’t work. It’s going to take people and products working together.”

Mandiant was frequently called in after FireEye found malware. In those cases, it used its own threat detection technology to determine where the attack was coming from and to design countermeasures.
