GlobalSCAPE® Announces Development of appShield™
14 Fevereiro 2011 - 10:00AM
Business Wire
GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GSB), a leading developer of
secure information exchange solutions, announced today that the
company is developing appShield™, an innovative new computer
security product for home and small business computers. With
appShield, GlobalSCAPE is pioneering a much needed safeguard to
protect computers against the rapid growth of viruses and other
malicious software.
appShield is based on proven enterprise-level application
whitelisting technology from CoreTrace Corporation, the recognized
leader in dynamic and client-based application whitelisting.
GlobalSCAPE entered into a partnership with CoreTrace in December
2009, making an investment in this innovative Austin-based private
company.
Unlike traditional “blacklisting” solutions, such as antivirus
software, that attempt to detect and remove infected files and
applications running on a computer, appShield denies the operation
of applications and executables that are not on an approved
“whitelist” created by the user. By ensuring that only approved
applications can run, appShield automatically blocks all
unauthorized applications—including viruses and rogue applications
that may have been inadvertently downloaded from email, websites,
or social media, for example.
Traditional antivirus products do not provide consumers full
computer protection from unauthorized applications. According to a
December 2010 Gartner Group report “A Buyer’s Guide to Endpoint
Protection Platforms,” signature-based antivirus products detect
only 25% to 50% of new threats. appShield complements existing
antivirus software by acting as a user-controlled final layer of
defense, blocking all applications not specifically approved by the
user, including new viruses not detected by many antivirus software
products.
appShield provides the following features and benefits:
- Immediately blocks unauthorized
programs from running, including the most sophisticated viruses and
zero-day threats
- Offers always-on protection against the
latest malware and viruses that haven’t yet been identified by even
the most up-to-date antivirus software
- Operates inside the OS kernel to
protect against malicious software processes
- Presents a simple and easy to
understand user interface that allows flexible authorization or
blocking of applications
- Provides visibility into all programs
attempting to run on the computer
- Consumes minimal computer resources,
unlike traditional antivirus software
“We believe that application whitelisting for consumers has
tremendous potential, similar to the early days of the antivirus
market. appShield is an important next step as we continue to
enhance our position as a leading provider of secure information
exchange solutions globally,” said Jim Morris, GlobalSCAPE
president and CEO. "With over two million consumer file transfer
(CuteFTP) software licenses issued into 150 countries, we have an
established base of customers who trust us and are constantly
looking for new and better security solutions to protect their
computers from existing and future malicious software. appShield
will provide this added layer of security and we’re very confident
that, with appShield, we can further tap into the broader
multi-billion dollar computer security market."
appShield Demos and Availablity
GlobalSCAPE will be offering appShield demos and discussing the
emerging consumer application whitelisting market this week at the
2011 RSA Conference (Booth #2159) in San Francisco, February 14 -
18. The annual RSA Conference brings together key players,
companies, and potential customers from the information security
industry.
GlobalSCAPE also intends to release appShield commercially in
the summer of 2011. Individuals or media interested in getting an
