Bit9 Parity Suite Adds Security and Compliance Solutions to Virtual
Bit9, Inc., a leading provider of adaptive application whitelisting, have announced the launch of Bit9 Parity for Servers, a security and compliance suite that safeguards mission-centric data and protects intellectual property that is held on servers.
Bit9 Parity Suite ensures that the right amount of visibility and compliance is provided, and gives the customer the right integrity of configuration, as well as secure cover, that information will need. Equipped with critical security sensors that monitor, control and alert on unauthorised changes that could pose a threat on a server, the intelligence is fed to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) console. The solution can also help correlate elusive threats on the network with stealth malware on the endpoint, connecting symptoms with the root cause.
Patrick Morley, CEO of Bit9, said in a release, “Bit9 has recognised that for many organisations, servers are critical components of their IT infrastructure. Given the significance of these servers and the information organisations store, it is no surprise that they have become more of a target for cyber criminals, hacktivists and state sponsored attacks. Bit9 Parity for Servers provides the application control, change management and compliance needed to prevent zero-day attacks while preserving application, server uptime and performance.”
The solution also comes with change control to prevent attacks, File which is a good way to ensure that only authorised applications as well as processes are run. Key features and benefits include:
• Supports a true-based ‘Default Deny’ environment using the most adaptive application whitelisting technology.
• Delivers File Integrity Monitoring so you know what software is running on all servers, all the time, and can quickly detect and isolate malware.
• Enables File Integrity Control so you can protect specific system assets.
• Reduces server management costs by protecting core configurations and applications, reducing help desk calls, and speeding root cause analysis.
• Facilitates demonstrable and sustainable compliance through streamlined audits, activity monitoring, violation notification and policy enforcement.
• Integrates with the Bit9 Parity Knowledge Service to inventory and assess trust and threat information associated with the software applications running on your servers.
• Empowers SIEM technologies with real time visibility and control across all enterprise servers.
• Proven to secure serves and other Windows endpoints against attacks for which no patch or antivirus signature yet exists.
• Only application whitelisting solution proven to deploy successfully in large scale enterprise environments; effectively deployed on thousands of fixed function devices.
• Ease and speed of deployment and management – go from download to deployment in one day.
• Small footprint; minimal overhead.
• Does not require constant updates.
• Does not rely on known bad software or known bad behaviours to identify malware.
• Does not require multiple reboots when installing or making changes.
Companies are now able to secure environments of physical and virtual servers, for business-based applications, databases, directories and file stores. Bit9 Parity for Servers can work in tandem with a number of varying physical as well as virtual server environments including domain controllers such as Citrix, SQL, SharePoint and Exchange.
