| Comodo Announces Endpoint Security Manager 1.5 Comodo Security Solutions has announced the release of its Comodo Endpoint Security Manager 1.5 software. Comodo Endpoint Security Manager is integrated with Comodo Internet Security, rated #1 in proactive security by Matousec.com, an independent security testing authority. Comodo Endpoint Security Manager 1.5 combines the unparalleled malware prevention of Comodo Internet Security software together with powerful central administration features for businesses with dozens to thousands of PCs. New in version 1.5 are breakthrough features, including Auto Sandbox Technology, and a limited warranty to repair PCs damaged by malware. Businesses of all sizes are increasingly targeted by hackers, with a disturbing trend of attacks directed at specific personnel or groups, such as corporate finance staff with access to electronic banking systems. Starting in mid 2009, small businesses, local governments, educational institutions and not-for-profit organizations began reporting staggering financial losses due to malware attacks. These mounting losses are due in part to weaknesses in conventional PC security solutions that have long relied on a "blacklisting" approach that blocks only known threats from executing. Because most threats are unknown at the initial point of contact, they are unlikely to be blocked by conventional security software. Coupled with the fact that many users do not keep their computers or security software regularly updated, it's no surprise that businesses continue to encounter financial loss and other problems stemming from malware infection. Comodo Endpoint Security Manager, with Comodo Internet Security, has been engineered to obliterate this trend. Comodo Endpoint Security Manager 1.5 redefines PC security for businesses by shifting the protection paradigm from conventional detection to proactive prevention, providing unparalleled superior protection. With core security provided by Comodo Internet Security 4.0 and its Default Deny Technology, only those files that are on the safe "whitelist" of over 15 million files are allowed to run and access critical system resources or information. All other files are either blocked, because they are known to be unsafe, or automatically "sandboxed" if their safety is unknown. While sandboxed, an application is closely monitored and given limited privileges, it can only write to a virtual file system and registry. Comodo's unique, patent-pending Auto Sandbox Technology relieves users and administrators from having to make difficult decisions about which applications to block and which to allow, this makes the product both easier to use and more secure than competitive alternatives. Default Deny Technology, working in concert with fully-featured antivirus and firewall components allows Comodo Internet Security 4.0 to provide the strongest protection against viruses and malware of any other PC Security solution available today. No other company provides this automated sandbox feature today. The key features included in the Comodo Endpoint Security Manager 1.5 package are: Comodo Internet Security 4.0: - Default Deny Technology - Provides proactive malware protection designed to stop all known and unknown virus and malware attacks; - Antivirus - Searches, tracks down and destroys malware already on a PC, and blocks known malware; - Auto Sandbox Technology - Decides automatically if unknown applications should run on your PC by first launching in a secure virtual environment where files cannot damage the PC; - Firewall – Defends PC's against inbound attacks, hides PC ports from hackers and keeps malicious software from transmitting confidential data over the Internet. livePCsupport – 24x7 live support by PC security experts: - Direct link to livePCsupport experts integrates into Endpoint Security Manager Console; - Remote Desktop Connection module enables Comodo livePCsupport experts to remotely configure or troubleshoot Endpoint Security Manager installation (at no additional expense). - Comodo Limited Warranty – provides up to $5000 in restoration costs per license file for all licensed endpoints infected and damaged by malware while protected by Comodo Internet Security under Endpoint Security Manager 1.5, subject to terms and conditions. Comodo's guarantee gives customers the peace of mind in knowing that all malware and viruses will be stopped completely before ever penetrating their systems. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Computing News :: home page |
