BOUNCER by CoreTrace:  Botnets

Botnet? Deactivate it with BOUNCER by CoreTrace

Botnets, or ‘zombie systems’, are computers that have been compromised by software robots (or bots) and used to run installed programs like Trojans and backdoors over a ‘command and control’ infrastructure.

Your enterprise's hijacked endpoints can be used to wreak serious havoc inside and outside your networks, including:

  • Launching a denial-of-service attack
  • Propagating adware and spyware
  • Sending out spam and other unsolicited email
  • Consuming valuable network bandwidth

Botnets are very hard to detect on your systems, and even harder to eradicate and prevent — unless you have BOUNCER. BOUNCER's application whitelisting stops bots from running — if a program is not on the authorized list, it does not run. There's no need to deploy a special anti-bot program, and repeated patching and updating are not necessary. All botnets are caught before they launch and turn your computers into zombies.

Administrators are the ones who decide what applications they want to run in their environments, and when a bot tries to execute on BOUNCER protected systems, it simply fails. BOUNCER comes with pre-configured and easily customized whitelists, making it quick and easy for you to protect your enterprise data.
