Bit9 Free Webcast—Enhancing Security Through a Trust-based Approach

Bloor Research Analyst Fran Howarth Will Discuss Why Advanced Threats Require Advanced Weapons

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bit9, the global leader in Advanced Threat Protection, will present the free webcast “Enhancing Security Through a Trust-based Approach” on Tuesday, December 4, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. EST / 2:00 p.m. GMT. Fran Howarth, senior analyst, security for Bloor Research, will explain how at a time when cyberthreats are becoming more insidious and affecting organizations of all types and sizes, advanced weapons are required to stop these advanced threats, which evade detection by traditional security solutions.

“Application control and whitelisting technologies provide the advanced weapons needed to counter advanced threats”

“Application control and whitelisting technologies provide the advanced weapons needed to counter advanced threats,” said Howarth. “They can be used to ensure that only trusted applications can be run on the network, blocking all other applications from executing. Thus, they are highly effective at preventing malware infections and data exfiltration, especially when all systems are continuously monitored in real time. By allowing only what is known to be good to run, trust is returned to the security equation and an organization will be in a much stronger position to protect its sensitive information from the risks posed by sophisticated cyberthreats.”
