Unlike other security approaches that focus only on a subset of known malware, spyware or viruses with never-ending costly subscriptions, Sanctuary lets you establish a known, stable and controlled environment to prevent unauthorized application use and execution. And it does so starting on Day One.
The logic that powers Sanctuary Application Control can be summarized in two words: "default deny". In other words, if the process or executable is not known, Sanctuary will not allow it to run. It's that simple.
Control is yours. You decide what is allowed to run; Sanctuary stops everything else. Any time your system attempts to launch a process, Sanctuary evaluates whether it is a known or allowed process and either allows the application to execute or terminates the launch. Because it evaluates all processes to be executed, Sanctuary automatically and completely filters out Trojans, worms, malware, spyware, software keyloggers and viruses, including unknown software/code masquerading as legitimate processes.
Advantages Of using Sanctuary Application Control
· Preserve's IT Security and System Health.
· Uses a white-list, instead of blacklist approach as your first line of defence against viruses.
· Improves network bandwidth and system availability by eliminating malware and unwanted/unauthorized applications thereby improving productivity.
· Complies with industry-leading solutions from Microsoft (Network Access protection), Citrix (Access Control Gateway) and Novell (eDirectory - ZENworks Identity Management) thus allowing your endpoints to comply with your internal policies.
· Reduces IT Costs as reducing IT related support interventions.
· Extends the lifecycle of endpoints while increasing stability and availability.
· Reduces the dependency on incomplete Anti-virus / Anti-spyware subscriptions.
· Ensures compliance with Corporate, Industry, Federal and Privacy Regulations.
· Shelters systems that contain sensitive data by preventing unauthorized applications.
· Reduces the use of unlicensed applications by allowing only programs permitted to execute.
· Complies with control requirements by utilizing strong audit and reporting means for both discovery and usage. Sanctuary works for everyone everywhere, from remote laptop users and home workers to geographically dispersed networks. In fact, Sanctuary endpoint security solutions haves been designed specifically for large, highly complex networks. Its three-tier architecture and load-balancing capability already supports companies ranging in size from 50 to 100,000 endpoints. It integrates with your existing technical infrastructure and logical organization by mapping permissions to an existing Active Directory domain as well as Novell eDirectory. Sanctuary has also been ported to Windows Embedded platforms to protect the growing number of exposed embedded devices. |
