Sana Security Announces Primary Response Safeconnect Support For 32- And 64-Bit Vista

SAN MATEO, Calif. – December 12, 2006 – Sana Security, Inc., a security software company, today announced that Primary Response SafeConnect is the first behavior-based anti-malware product available for both 32- and 64-bit Microsoft Vista. The product is scheduled for release in calendar Q1 2007.

Sana’s Primary Response SafeConnect, an industry-leading behavioral solution to combat malware on PCs, has been acclaimed for its innovative approach to adding zero-day threat protection to PCs susceptible to malware attack. Primary Response SafeConnect is the only security software currently available to combat the variants of existing malware and new threats that are specifically designed to compromise Vista with its modified architecture.

Only behavior-based solutions such as Primary Response SafeConnect can protect Vista against new threats since signature-based solutions haven’t previously seen the threats, and therefore, cannot identify them.

“Traditional signature-based security products can’t stop zero-day attacks,” said Andrew Jaquith, senior analyst, Yankee Group. “Our research shows that while 99% of corporations have deployed anti-virus software, nearly two-thirds (64%) nonetheless suffered virus or worm outbreaks that disrupted at least one business unit. Behavioral security solutions are an increasingly important part of a balanced security program.”

“ Because of the way Primary Response SafeConnect is designed, it will work in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode. This product will effectively provide the same degree of protection in Vista that it does in Windows XP and 2000,” said Vlad Gorelik, CTO, Sana Security.

Malware, such as malicious code variants or application-level attacks, go undetected by legacy solutions that require signatures or definitions and require scanning to be fully effective. Primary Response SafeConnect affords users instant and constant protection of their personal identity and data.

Primary Response SafeConnect utilizes Sana’s Active Malware Defense Technology v.2 (Active MDT) to instantly detect malicious software and remove all traces by identifying and analyzing a combination of behaviors that indicate malware has infected the system. This capability will afford Vista users the benefit of having software installed that can detect new variants of malware designed to attack Vista. While scanning and signature based solutions examine code structure to detect malware and can render a machine unusable, Active MDT provides more effective removal of malicious software from the machine since it observes the behavior of the malware and does not rely on a specific signature or definition.

Active MDT is designed to successfully detect and remove the more complex and stealthy Trojans and rootkits, a polymorphic threat attacking at the kernel level that often evades detection by traditional security software. Once removal is complete, the solution continues to work and persistently protect PCs whether online or offline, connected or not, and with no further action required on behalf of the user, such as the time-consuming download of updates and system scanning.

The Internet has evolved into a collaborative communication platform encouraging users to contribute content and stimulate discussion. As an operating system platform, Vista will enhance and encourage this collaboration through its integrated applications and Internet connection capabilities. Each new content vehicle, whether it’s a blog, podcast, or instant message, creates a new attack vector that may be maliciously exploited to steal personal identity and data. Security solutions must evolve to protect against these emerging vulnerabilities and address the varying attack vectors that exist without stifling the collaborative online process. Primary Response SafeConnect surpasses scanning and signature-based solutions by providing key benefits such as:

• Basic and essential protection against the latest malware and variants targeting Vista
• Comprehensive, real-time detection and removal of malware
• Threat protection against spyware, adware and phishing without requiring signature updates or scanning
• Complete removal of all traces of malware, including Trojans, rootkits and key loggers
• Complements other signature-based solutions that cannot see or remove the latest malware threats
