Bit9 Parity Suite: Adaptive Application Whitelisting
Today's evolving threat landscape requires a new approach to endpoint security. For decades, the security industry has been chasing the infinite list of malicious software and creating a blacklist to prevent it from running. With the exponential growth in malware and the targeted nature of today's attacks, this reactive approach is now considered incomplete - evident by the number of data breaches still taking place.
Bit9, named InfoWorld's Technology of the Year for 2010, pioneered Application Whitelisting. The Bit9 Parity Suite 6.0 provides adaptive application whitelisting, reduces the cost to maintain endpoints, and enables demonstrable and sustainable compliance.
Bit9 Methodology:
- Bit9 Visibility: Continuous monitoring of all software and portable storage devices running on each endpoint
- Bit9 Knowledge Service: In-the-cloud service assigns a trust rating to all software to identify computers at risk with embedded malware
- Bit9 Control: Policy-based controls that ensure only trusted software, portable storage devices, and configuration changes are made to the endpoint
Bit9 Parity Suite 6.0 includes:
- Application Whitelisting - Ensures only trusted software is allowed to run, prevents stealth malware and targeted attacks
- Device Control - controls the use of portable storage devices for data leak prevention
- File Integrity Monitoring - continuously monitors, controls and reports on change to critical configuration files
- Registry Protection - protects specific registry entries and high risk registry objects from unauthorized change
- Memory Protection - ensure the integrity of a processes' memory allocation and working space
- Operating System Integrity - provides operating system tamper protection to prevent hijacking and rootkits
- Software Reputation Service - assigns trust ratings on software to isolate risk and find embedded malware
- Threat Identification - Aggregating numerous AV engine results to formulate a comprehensive threat rating
