Bit9 Parity Suite: Trust-based Application Control.

What if you could understand the trust of all software in your enterprise, quickly detect high risk files and users, and protect your company against the Advanced Persistent Threats while continuously measuring your ongoing risk and compliance posture?

Today we are seeing an unprecedented rise in targeted attacks and an acceleration of the loss of core Intellectual Property. While state-sponsored attacks and cyber espionage have been occurring for decades, the level of disclosure and visibility of these attacks is rising to new levels. With the exponential growth in malware and the targeted nature of today's attacks, a reactive approach to security is now considered incomplete - evident by the number of data breaches still taking place. Bit9 Parity Suite provides you with an optimized, Advanced Threat Protection Platform that places you in a proactive security posture giving you the confidence that you have truly protected your Intellectual Property from today’s modern threats.

Bit9 Parity Suite Components:

  1. Bit9 Parity real-time Endpoint Sensor is a powerful lightweight agent installed on each endpoint. Once installed, the agent uses less than 1% of the CPU processing power and less than 10MB of the available RAM.
  2. The Bit9 Parity Console provides centralized control for policy definition and endpoint agent management, as well as reporting and exception alerts on of all software and portable storage devices running on each endpoint.
  3. The Bit9 Global Software Registry (GSR) is the world’s largest software reputation database. The GSR maintains background information and metadata on more than 8 billion software executables, and provides threat and trust ratings for software. The GSR allows IT organizations to make informed decisions about which software to trust within the enterprise.

Key Benefits:

  • Complete protection for endpoints and servers from malicious software: Block viruses, Trojans, Stuxnet, application exploits, custom attacks, zero-day threats, and more by allowing only approved software to run
  • Unified monitoring and management: Bit9 Parity integrates with Log and Security Information Event Management Solutions (SIEMs) to correlate possible threats
  • External device control: Thumb drives, CDs, iPods, etc. can be easily be blocked, so that only pre-authorized devices can execute
  • Anti-virus replacement: Free up considerable system resources, extend the lifecycle of your hardware, and eliminate the renewal costs associated with antivirus
  • Reduced SLA burden: Streamline compliance audits, activity monitoring, violation notification, and policy enforcement
  • Software licensing savings across endpoints: Leverage the Bit9 Parity Center Service to inventory and assess the software applications in use across your endpoints
  • Prevention of data theft and leakage: Audit and control the transfer of sensitive data to personal storage devices
