Bit9 Parity Visibility
What if you could detect not just high risk software, but also high risk users, allowing you to continuously maintain your chosen security posture?
To effectively manage desktop, laptop and server configurations, IT organizations need to look beyond traditional delivery and protection suites to gain total visibility, knowledge and control. Gaining an understanding of what is on your endpoints and servers - all the time - is the first step in regaining control.
Bit9 Visibility provides the insight needed on "all software, all the time" to help you identify what is running in your network, and where. Our real-time file tracking logs all files currently on all computers as well as all files that have ever been on a computer regardless of current status.
With real-time file tracking, environment specific rules, and cloud based trust, high risk files can be identified quickly and accurately. But finding these files is not always enough. Once a high risk file is detected, Bit9 Parity provides immediate analysis on the file and its behaviors such as what computer(s) it is on, if it has executed, when it was first seen, what process wrote it, and more, giving you the vital information you need to take appropriate action.
Bit9 Parity’s Endpoint Sensor ability also solves what we call the “first execution problem”. When advanced threats execute, they are designed to morph, spread laterally, and cover their tracks to hide the fact that they were ever there. Without a real-time endpoint sensor that tracks all interesting files at the write level present on your critical machines when an advanced threat first tries to execute, there is a very real possibility that you will never even know that your company was targeted.
In addition to monitoring in real time everything that is arriving inside of your enterprise, you also need to get real-time visibility into all of your critical system resources. You not only need to understand how software arrives and propagates, and whether a file executed, but also if there are unexpected changes being attempted on log files or someone is trying to tamper with your operating system, or on memory or registry keys. And in addition, you need to be monitoring devices like USBs that are being brought into the enterprise and potentially limiting their use.
Benefits:
- Identify all software on all systems at all times
- Track software and configuration changes as they happen
- Compare configurations to approved baselines
- Speed incident response
- Real-time visibility into critical system resources
