Compliance and Risk Management

With the advent of Sarbanes-Oxley and other compliance legislation, companies are increasingly expected to know and to be able to prove knowledge of everything going on in their businesses. At the same time malicious code writers have made it their business to find any ways possible to reach corporate computers and to do so undetected with the aim of stealing corporate information either immediately or over a pre-determined period of time.

Up until now it has been more or less acceptable to hide behind a big-name security vendor as evidence that a company's systems are well protected and that reasonable efforts are being made to ensure no malicious files are entering the user population. With the recent spate of publicised data leakage, from the likes of T.J. Maxx and others, it has now become vital to have better control of all files within your organization and audit capabilities that pinpoint the provenance of any given file.

With Prevx2.0 you can control the entry and execution of any files that are new to your organization and have the capability to provide a complete audit trail of both malicious and benign files, through the functionality of the Community Watch Controller.

Community Watch Controller

All Prevx2.0 Agents report into a Community Watch Controller. Community Watch Controllers are typically configured to manage 100,000 agents each. Controllers are then networked to provide fault tolerant support for communities running into tens of millions of agents.

The Community Watch Controller can be configured to hold detailed inventory of each agent's software creation, installation, execution and behaviour. The Community Watch Controller dashboard provides a powerful GUI that enables full management control of its community of agents including software updates and protection configuration.

The Community Watch Controller allows you all the following capabilities and more:

• Show me the exact differences of software configuration between two machines - used when comparing a problem machine against a standard build for example
• Show me all malicious files that have been encountered by my user population - then show me this data by department or geography of office.
• Show me the IP address of all websites that our staff have visited which contained malicious code - and then block access to these IP addresses if desired
• Show me the first moment this particular file entered my user population, its origins, all its related files and every machine on which it has subsequently been encountered
• Block any files from execution that exhibit the following behaviours
• Even though they are not necessarily 'malicious', block the execution of this file and all related files that are part of its application
• Alert me by SMS, the moment a PC within the Finance Department encounters a file including malicious code

Prevx2.0 gives you the visibility, management, control and audit capabilities on all the files across your user population with the reporting tools necessary to demonstrate your mitigation of infection risk and compliance with company software usage policies.
