Comodo launches endpoint security & anti-virus solution with cash warranty
October 2013 by Marc Jacob
Comodo, a certificate authority and Internet security specialist, is officially launching its Endpoint Security Manager v3 solution into the UK market at the upcoming IP EXPO in October. The anti-virus solution, aimed at organisations and businesses of all scales, offers a unique 100 per cent guarantee against an attack.
The solution is backed by Comodo’s promise of a $5,000 cash warranty, per incident, which is another industry first.
Traditional anti-virus solutions are reliant upon the use of a blacklist approach, a database of signatures that compares files on a hard drive against a list of known bad files. Whitelists, on the other hand allow known good files to execute. However, a vast majority of files are classified as unknown and are therefore allowed into organisations with potential damaging consequences. Endpoint Security Manager features a fully automatic persistent sandbox, the only one of its kind in the world, which all unknown files are sent to. In this way, unknown files can be contained until they can be identified as good or bad.
