Combating Key Threats: Viruses and Worms
How BOUNCER Protects You Against Viruses and Worms
Proactively Stopping the Payload
As an IT security professional, you know that endpoint security has traditionally been a job for antivirus software solutions. Unfortunately, traditional approaches don't effectively address the approaches in modern day attacks. Relying solely on traditional blacklist-based solutions to keep up with new viruses, worms, and targeted malware is no longer an effective strategy. You need a security solution that isn't reactive to more sophisticated cyber threats but proactively stops any unauthorized applications from running on your system. Our award-winning whitelisting solutions help real people like you protect your network from all types of viruses, worms, and other malware — from widespread threats to highly targeted attacks — by stopping the payload from ever getting on your network and becoming a threat.
Blacklisting Methodology Creates a Host of Problems
Relying solely on a 'blacklisting' methodology to check against a vendor-supply list of thousands of known viruses and worms creates a host of problems, including:
-
Performance lags as each application is checked against a list of known threats
-
Constant updating of the virus definition file combined with sometimes daily patches that devour IT team resources
-
Vulnerabilities to zero-day attacks that occur between the time an attack is released and when a patch is developed and propagated
-
Susceptibilities to targeted threats and malware specifically intended for your enterprise
-
Exposure to savvier hackers and cyber criminals who know the shortcomings of the antivirus system
How BOUNCER Helps You
We know you need a new approach that both stops today's threats while preserving the performance of your endpoints and the productivity of your users. BOUNCER takes a completely different approach to protect your systems against more deceptive and undetectable viruses and worms. Rather than updating a blacklist and trying to keep up with every virus and worm released on a daily basis, BOUNCER uses application whitelisting at the kernel level to simply, effectively block any unauthorized executable. In other words, if it's not on the list, it doesn't run. As a result, BOUNCER helps you:
-
Prevent viruses, worms, and other malware threats from executing on your system
-
Free up valuable resources previously devoted to security updating and patching
-
Choose which patches to implement, on whatever schedule is convenient for you, without compromising the security of your systems
-
Distinguish and prevent the unauthorized changes to the core of your program
-
Regain control over your sensitive data and enterprise
