SkyRecon's StormShield Provides Unified Endpoint Threat Protection for Network-Complex Organizations

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - November 26, 2007) - SkyRecon Systems, the premier provider of
unified endpoint security solutions, today announced that a new White Paper
commissioned by SkyRecon and produced by IDC, "Key Issues Around Endpoint
Security," describes its StormShield Security Suite as "a unified method
for handling the multiple threats and issues associated with network
endpoints."
SkyRecon's StormShield unified endpoint protection product is the first in
the industry to provide a single-agent solution with real-time defenses
designed to protect an organization's endpoints and the critical business
data that resides on them. StormShield's multiple protection layers address
every aspect of endpoint and data
protection: intrusion
prevention, application control,
device control, content encryption, all through a
single agent and single management console.
StormShield's key focal points are the following:
Integration. The single, lightweight StormShield agent secures endpoint
connectivity, the operating system, applications, and sensitive data from
attack while controlling unauthorized user operations.
Behavior-driven prevention. Since antivirus/antispyware solutions rely on
signatures, hackers have both the numbers and time on their side. To
counter this, StormShield secures the PC using proven behavioral
technology, not signatures, to automatically detect and block suspicious or
dangerous activity.
Role-based policies. Dynamic policies can be deployed to prevent
unauthorized removal of sensitive business data using removable storage
devices. Policies can also be applied to mobile laptops to restrict access
to business applications while connected to public hotspots without a VPN
session.
"The popularity of laptops in business dramatically increases the potential
for a security breach and data theft," said Ravy Truchot, SkyRecon CEO.
"Companies need to recognize that securing their mobile endpoints and
protecting the data they contain is a very different challenge from that
which is required to secure their internally-managed desktops."
"IT security policies can no longer be contained at the physical perimeter
of the organization; they must also account for the virtual perimeter
encompassing an organization's mobile devices, the users of those devices,
and the data that they have access to," said Truchot.
