SANA SECURITY AWARDED THE “TOMORROW’S TECHNOLOGY TODAY”
AWARD BY INFO SECURITY PRODUCTS GUIDE
Behavioral Heuristic Technology Selected a Winner in the Anti-Malware Category
SAN MATEO, Calif. – August 29, 2006 – Sana Security, Inc., a security software company, today announced that it has been awarded the prestigious “Tomorrow’s Technology Today” award by Info Security Products Guide, a Silicon Valley Communications publication and the world’s leading publication on security-related products and technologies. Sana Security was selected for it’s commitment to addressing the ongoing complexities of internet-based attacks and offering a proactive solution that can detect and remove malware threats without requiring signatures or scanning.
After careful review of over 65 contributed articles, the editorial team at Info Security Products Guide selected Sana Security’s, “Preventing Malicious Spyware in the Enterprise” article for its unique and progressive approach to protecting client desktops from the onslaught of stealthy, identity-stealing threats. The award recognizes information security companies that are leaders in their space and offer enterprises successful solutions for protecting against today’s leading threats, while maintaining a head start in protecting against the blended attacks of the future.
“Sana Security exists in an incredibly competitive market that is crowded by the excess of security solutions to address a broad-range of IT threats,” said Rick Justice, chief technology editor, Info Security Products Guide. “In evaluating the nominations, we were most impressed with Sana’s behavioral model and its capabilities in adapting to the changing landscape in IT security, without relying on excessive administrative support.”
Sana’s behavioral heuristic technology, Active Malware Defense Technology v2 (Active MDT v2), sits at the core of its anti-malware solution to protect client desktops in real-time by detecting stealthy malware and removing malicious code. Primary Response SafeConnect offers enterprises broader threat protection, behavior-based malware removal and ease-of-use for defending against today’s leading threats.
“Reactive security solutions are simply not cutting it in today’s overactive, fast-changing threat landscape. With anti-virus solutions catching only 65% of malicious bots, it’s clear the industry is in need of a protection mechanism that departs from traditional signature models. At Sana, we are dedicated to creating solutions that instantly and constantly protect against emerging vulnerabilities that are common among the Internet’s evolving collaborative platforms,” said John Zicker, CEO, Sana Security. “The ‘Tomorrow’s Technology for Today’ award further confirms Sana’s commitment to providing best-in-class solutions that enable enterprises to stay one step ahead of the next threat.”
Sana’s Active MDT provides immunity against both known and unknown threats for enterprises, small businesses and consumers. Unlike legacy reactive solutions that require updates, signatures and scanning, Active MDT examines the operational behavior of the PC. These behavioral heuristics are built into the product, eliminating the need for additional security programs to fight spyware, Rootkits, adware, phishing and other malware attacks. The instant and constant protection provided by Primary Response SafeConnect is always current and continues to protect PCs online or offline, connected or not and with no further action required on behalf of the user, including signature downloads and system scanning.
