SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Silicium
Security, the provider of ECAT advanced malware detection, today
announced at the RSA Conference that it has partnered with SurfRight to
give ECAT enterprise customers integrated malware removal within ECAT.
ECAT customers will now be able to push a silent background remediation
agent to machines identified as compromised with known malware. The
agent then remediates the endpoint, removing malware traces, without
needing to re-image.
By leveraging SurfRight’s HitmanPro technology, ECAT now provides a
broader feature set for facilitating incident response from detection to
resolution. “With ECAT we focus on finding the most difficult-to-detect,
potentially damaging malware like advanced persistent threats that are
targeted at enterprises with the most intellectual property to lose. By
incorporating SurfRight’s highly regarded remediation agent, we deliver
best-of-breed functionality to what is already the best enterprise
malware detection system on the market” said Chad Loeven, Silicium
Security’s VP of Sales and Marketing.
“Advanced malware threats are not only masters in disguise, but also use
various methods to make them difficult to remove”, said Mark Loman, CEO
of SurfRight. “Today’s malware is often protected by watchdogs and
piggybacks on critical system files or boot records to subvert Windows
and antivirus software, even before the operating system boots.
Specialized techniques like those used by HitmanPro are needed to ensure
the malware is thoroughly removed, once and for all.”
Silicium Security will be presenting ECAT V.3.3 with remediation at
booth #340 during the RSA conference.
