Offers government agencies leap-ahead technology to combat
ever-changing malware landscape
Guidance Software Inc. (NASDAQ:GUID), the World
Leader in Digital Investigations™, today announced EnCase®
Cybersecurity, a comprehensive solution designed for computer network
defense, incident response and counterintelligence. As government
agencies around the world put defense against cyber attacks at the top
of their security operations, EnCase Cybersecurity enables them to
dynamically adapt to unknown malicious code and proactively identify
network threats 24/7 in any cyber environment.
EnCase Cybersecurity provides robust endpoint attack sensing and
mitigation across the enterprise. Using advanced threat and memory
analytics, agencies can quickly identify computer systems at risk and
provide both behavioral and deep code analysis on suspicious processes
or binaries. As a threat is identified and zero day code is exposed,
users can scan the network from a central console and remediate the
threat from host computers without operational disruption. Employing a
patent-pending technology, EnCase Cybersecurity enables agencies to
fight the polymorphic and metamorphic code problem by determining if a
new binaries share code base with previously attributed code. Unlike
other fuzzy hashing approaches, EnCase Cybersecurity technology provides
rapid on-the-fly assessment of malware across the enterprise, without
requiring an organization to possess the source files of known malware
past the initial point of infection.
“Until now, there has not been an enterprise protection solution to help
agencies proactively identify unknown threats on the network before
sensitive data becomes compromised,” said Victor Limongelli, President
and CEO of Guidance Software. “EnCase Cybersecurity facilitates the
shift from a reactive to proactive approach—enabling agencies to zero in
on potential threats, completely recover computers from malicious code
infiltration, and drastically reduce recovery costs.”
“Protected U.S. government networks have fallen prey to an alarming
array of attacks in recent months. For contractors like Guidance
Software, this is a critical time to support government agencies at a
tactical level to meet threats headfirst as they try to gain control of
the cyber-crisis,” said Kate Naunheim, Senior Analyst, Federal
Opportunities at market intelligence research and consulting firm, INPUT.
Guidance Software has partnered with other leading technology vendors to
bolster the value of EnCase Cybersecurity.
