[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1096994, member: 32260"] It can, but the protection rate is probably greater with SAC. The ASR rule will block most malicious 0-day EXE malware and some techniques that use DLLs. Currently, SAC blocks slightly fewer EXE malware, but much more fileless attacks (including many initial fileless attacks with EXE payloads). For example, by blocking one shortcut, SAC can block several EXE payloads stored on the malicious domain (malware replaced frequently by another morphed sample). [/QUOTE]
