Understanding the Stairwell forwarder

The Stairwell platform offers advanced capabilities that are able to interrogate and analyze all of your executable or executable-like files in order to detect and prevent cyber-attacks. To conduct static and dynamic analysis at the binary level, Stairwell ingests and stores every executable or executable-like file written to disk via a file Forwarder.

The file Forwarder used by the Stairwell platform is an extremely lightweight process and is analogous to a log shipper used by other security tools.   The Forwarder’s sole job is file ingestion of new and unique file types your organization is looking to have Stairwell conduct advanced threat analysis on.
