Quarterly Newsletter

From the desk of Vik Khanna | April 2012

We have released Anti-Executable 5.0 this month; AE is our application control product that ensures endpoint security by only permitting approved executables to run on a workstation or server. The new release simplifies application control; Centralized control of applications and policy-based user groups make it easier for administrators to create and maintain lists of approved executables.  I would encourage those that never want their computers to have any chance of becoming part of the botnet to evaluate the latest version.

The highlight and thrill for me this quarter was reading each and every survey responses for Deep Freeze Mac and Deep Freeze Enterprise – over 800 of them!  These surveys were done to get customer feedback to prioritize the future releases of Deep Freeze.  One interesting finding was that much of the functionality that Deep Freeze Enterprise currently has is not being used such as being able to perform Windows Updates and other custom updates during the Maintenance schedule.  We are going to make some significant enhancements and will be releasing new editions of Deep Freeze Mac and Deep Freeze Enterprise soon; if you would like to help by taking an advance look at these upcoming versions, contact me and we will get you access to the pre-release candidates.

Best Regards,

Vik Khanna
Senior Vice President and COO

Anti-Executable 5.0: Simplifying Security with Application Control image

Organizations today are faced with a struggle against ever-complex security threats that standalone solutions can no longer mitigate. While many anti-virus tools offer protection against known spyware and malware, they require extensive staff resources for definition file updates and patches. With vast amounts of new malware emerging every day and the onset of highly targeted email scams, these definitions simply cannot keep up with this rate of growth – leaving corporate networks exposed to zero-day attacks, mutating viruses or the installation of unlicensed software as a result.

Faronics Anti-Executable allows only approved applications to install and execute by creating a centralized control list that blocks unauthorized executables from infecting machines or causing system degradation. The control list then enables enterprise-wide policies to be set and managed through specific user groups, eliminating the time-consuming process of updating each workstation on a per user basis. 

Faronics Anti-Executable 5.0 boosts defence against advanced persistent threats, sophisticated malware and zero-day attacks.
