Harris Corporation Deploys WholeSecurity to Behaviorally Detect Crimeware on PCs

AUSTIN, Texas, June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- WholeSecurity, the leading provider of behavioral, on-demand endpoint security solutions, today announced that Harris Corporation has deployed WholeSecurity's Confidence Online(TM) solutions to protect its PCs against both known and unknown crimeware such as worms, viruses, and Trojan horses. An international communications equipment company, Harris's more than 12,500 employees serve customers in approximately 150 countries.

"WholeSecurity's products are our first line of defense against new forms of malicious threats," said Mike Roberti, manager of Information Security for Harris Corporation, a Fortune 500 company. "Using Confidence Online we have been able to detect new forms of active malicious threats before anti-virus companies could create signatures."

As a supplier of vital communications equipment and a major defense contractor, ensuring the company's endpoint computers are safe from worms, viruses, Trojan Horses, and other forms of crimeware is critical. Harris Corporation implemented Confidence Online for Corporate PCs on more than 6,000 desktop systems in the LAN to guarantee round-the-clock protection. Additionally, Harris Corporation rolled out Confidence Online for Web Applications for employees connecting to the network remotely through an SSL VPN solution from Juniper Networks. Even when using publicly available systems (such as an airport kiosk or Internet cafe), these employees are assured of secure remote access without the fear of eavesdropping or remote control threats.

"We deployed Confidence Online to thousands of desktops in just two days and out-of-the-box it began detecting malicious code," said Roberti. "The software delivers as advertised and is an important layer of our overall protection for both the LAN and remote access."

"Deploying Confidence Online, coupled with our highly effective anti-virus and intrusion prevention toolsets, has provided Harris with a holistic solution to the ever-evolving security challenges of a complex enterprise," said Bill Miller, VP and CIO of Harris Corporation.

In independent tests and production implementations at leading companies, WholeSecurity's behavioral-based technology has been proven to be far more reliable and effective than signature-based scanning in protecting users against known and unknown threats. Against the top 10 most recent prolific attacks reported monthly from Feb. through May 2005, Confidence Online users received zero-hour protection from all variations of Zafi, Netsky, Mytob, and MyDoom without having to install or update signatures.
