Determina Delivers Proactive Protection From Mass Worm Attacks


Determina's Memory Firewall Stops Worms in Their Tracks Before Damage Is Done

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 22 -- Determina(TM) Inc. today announced the launch of its SecureCore 2.0 product. SecureCore 2.0 is built on Determina's Memory Firewall, the only endpoint security technology that proactively blocks mass worm attacks at their point of entry. Determina's technology stops known and Zero Day worms in their tracks by preventing them from executing in memory before they can cause damage and spread. This latest release brings an unprecedented level of protection to enterprise networks with new capabilities for centralized deployment, management and reporting. It enables enterprises to rest assured that their business will never again suffer the impact of mass worm attacks such as Code Red, Blaster, and Sasser.

"With locations on six continents, worms have the potential to significantly impact our operations. Every security system we've evaluated provides only partially addresses stopping crippling worm attacks," said James Cupps, Information Security Officer, Sappi Fine Paper, N.A. "Determina is an integral piece of a comprehensive strategy to stop worms and other computer attacks before they can effect our systems. It is a proactive solution that blocks known and unknown mass worm attacks before they can compromise our applications and damage our servers."

Worms represent a critical threat to enterprise network security. The speed of their propagation can render networks unavailable due to the traffic they generate, and they are often designed to compromise mission-critical information. The International Computer Science Institute estimates that a "worst-case" worm could do $50 billion in damage in the U.S. alone by attacking widely used services in Microsoft Windows.

"The reality of network security today is that intrusion detection and prevention systems can't block what they don't know to look for, and worms spread far faster than network administrators can update threat signatures," said Nand Mulchandani, CEO, Determina. "The key to thwarting worms is to prevent them from executing and damaging networks. SecureCore 2.0 prevents execution of even a single line of malicious code when worms reach protected endpoint devices, insulating enterprises from information loss and downtime."

Determina Memory Firewall Locks Worms Out of Enterprise Networks

Determina's Memory Firewall technology is the result of years of groundbreaking research in computer science at M.I.T. and in corporate labs. Using software emulation and compiler principles, the Memory Firewall runs on enterprise networks and forms a protective shield around software programs and applications while they are running in computer memory. It allows normal program code to run as it should, but prevents malicious code from executing. The Memory Firewall offers clear benefits to enterprises that want to eliminate the threat posed by worms:

-- Protection: The Memory Firewall is able to categorically stop the entire class of memory-based attacks. Memory-based vulnerabilities represent by far the largest class of flaws in computer software, and 100% of critical Windows flaws.

-- Accuracy: The Memory Firewall is 100% accurate. It doesn't generate false positives or false negatives, only confirmed incidents of real attacks.

-- Manageability: The Memory Firewall requires no ongoing maintenance to be effective. It deploys on a server in minutes and doesn't require training, tuning, or signature updates -- ever. Its advanced enterprise management capabilities allow administrators to centrally manage Memory Firewall deployments and generate detailed reports on threats found and thwarted.
