Sana Security Extends Global Presence with European Partner

Scan Computers Offers Primary Response SafeConnect for Signature-Free Malware Protection

San Mateo, CA - July 31, 2006— Sana Security, Inc., a security software company, today announced an expansion into the United Kingdom offering its anti-malware solution to Scan Computers International Ltd’s (Scan) retail and E-tail customers. Scan Computers will offer Sana’s Primary Response SafeConnect, the industry’s only anti-malware solution to provide instant and constant protection without relying on signatures or scanning, to their international customer base. In addition, Scan Computers will periodically offer Sana’s Primary Response SafeConnect in value-added bundles with its high performance systems, PC hardware/software and consumer electronics.

Global cells of increasingly sophisticated malware code writers have begun to target specific geographies and industries. Their goal is to develop stealth attack vectors that handicap major anti-virus companies from quickly developing signature-based patches to obviate the threat. The complex structure of these threats allows the attackers to freely collect online identities using previously unknown attack vectors. Sana Security’s breakthrough behavior analysis model for identifying previously unknown malware is sought worldwide to prevent identity theft and protect PCs and consumer electronics. Sana Labs recently identified two ‘in the wild’ Trojans, rootkit.hearse and the related win32.goldun, that were not initially picked up by standard signature-based solutions. These threats are clear examples of malware writers strengthening their strategies. Both were stealing personal identification information and distributing it to criminal elements in different countries. The stolen identities were then sold on the black market.

“It’s important for Scan Computers to offer the latest system security to our customers. Our reputation is built on enhancing the customer experience and building trust. Now our customers have an improved process for identifying and preventing attacks on the systems, PCs and consumer electronics that we provide,” said Elan Raja, director, Scan Computers International Ltd. “With Primary Response SafeConnect, we help our customers focus on the reason why they came to Scan Computers in the first place: for a solution that protects their systems and identities.”

With over 10,000 deployments and a growing customer base, Sana is dedicated to expanding its international reach to secure end-user and enterprise information and applications. Sana’s Primary Response SafeConnect provides clients with a combination of broad threat protection, behavioral heuristics and ease-of-use for addressing the rise of malicious internet-based attacks. Partnerships in strategic locations around the world help Sana Security leverage its technical leadership in anti-malware solutions that proactively detect and remove threats without the need for scanning or signatures.

“Strategic relationships with leaders like Scan Computers help Sana Security establish a global presence with insight into how malware is evolving to evade traditional models for system and data security,” said Timothy Eades, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Sana Security. “Working with Scan Computers will help us deliver Primary Response SafeConnect across Europe, extending our presence through an important retail channel.”

At the core of Primary Response SafeConnect is Sana Security’s latest technology, Active Malware Defense Technology v2.0 (Active MDT). Unlike reactive solutions, Primary Response SafeConnect is the first commercially available anti-malware software using behavior heuristics to instantly detect and completely remove malware before it can harm PCs. Malicious software components, including kernel level rootkit attacks, are quarantined and eliminated to prevent reinstallation or survival of reboot. PCs are protected with always-on, proactive protection for immunity against known and unknown threats, which disrupt business continuity and exploit online identities and information.
