Organizations today are facing more sophisticated, targeted threats that leverage multiple attack vectors including zero-day and 3rd party application vulnerabilities, physical access through data ports and web-based attacks through the browser. Attacks such as these "Advanced Persistent Threats" (APTs) are constantly evolving to methodically deliver custom-developed malware payloads that traditional anti-virus cannot proactively defend against. In addition, Web-enabled technologies and the social business, cloud-based environment have introduced new IT risks through plug-ins, add-ons and application extensions. These risk are compounded by users with local admin accounts who inadvertently expose their PCs to vulnerabilities by installing applications for both personal and social use.Not only are attacks becoming more targeted and sophisticated, but the sheer volume of new malware signatures is growing at rates that out-pace the scalability of traditional technologies. Today more than 2 million new malware signatures are identified each and every month, but anti-virus solutions, on average, only identify about 19 percent of these within the first day of existence. As a result, the typical organization must now deal with upwards of 50 malware incidents every month3, leading to rapid increases in endpoint TCO with rising help desk calls and reimaging costs, and lost employee and IT productivity.
To address the rising volume and sophistication of malware, organizations have added numerous point products to their security stack - an approach that has quickly become cumbersome and ineffective. This approach not only adds complexity to managing and securing endpoints, but it reduces overall visibility of the environment, leading to more IT risk and increased endpoint TCO. The time is now to shift out of the status quo and into a new strategy for endpoint management and security.
Lumension® Intelligent WhitelistingTM is the industry's first integrated, application whitelisting solution that brings together the combined strengths of patch management, application control, anti-virus, and trust-based change management into a single, integrated solution with a unified workflow that dramatically improves endpoint security effectiveness, without impacting organizational productivity.
