(Business Wire)–

HBGary and Verdasys announced today an integrated enterprise security solution to proactively detect and rapidly control the most advanced and persistent malware threats, including those used against global organizations for theft of intellectual property, business intelligence, customer records and classified information.

The Verdasys-HBGary solution, available in July 2010, will feature HBGary’s patent-pending core technology, Digital DNA, as part of a fully integrated Advanced Persistent Threat (APT (News – Alert)) module within Verdasys’ Digital Guardian Enterprise Information Protection (EIP) platform.

Studies prove that commercial anti-virus and traditional host intrusion detection systems do not detect 80% of new malware. The figures for low volume, targeted attacks are even worse. Verdasys’ APT module uses HBGary’s Digital DNA code analysis to detect malware and provide actionable intelligence, delivering a forensic understanding of what the malware capabilities and intents are. The Digital Guardian EIP platform combines these results with its unprecedented enterprise data visibility to assess an event’s risk, and then, through real-time policies and controls mitigate the malware threat without disrupting business processes and while offering IT managers the time necessary to clean infected systems.

“HBGary is very pleased to announce our first OEM agreement,” said Greg Hoglund, HBGary CEO and founder. “Today, organizations increasingly are looking for best-of-breed solutions that not only detect malware, but also provide actionable intelligence about the malware’s author and operator within minutes. Verdasys, a leader in the Enterprise Information Protection market, is a natural partner. With this announcement, enterprises now will have, in one solution, both the threat intelligence and ability to remediate evolving threats quickly and easily.”

The Verdasys Digital Guardian EIP solution is used by Global 2000 enterprise to identify sensitive data and to implement real-time risk appropriate controls to actions performed on that data. The new APT module extends existing DG capabilities to further monitor and control unauthorized applications including malware within enterprise environments.

  • Unique visibility into the parameters and context of an environment so that anomalies such as advanced malware threats can be quickly and accurately identified
  • Proactive controls that can be deployed across enterprise computers to mitigate the risk that the malware poses to information – and give the organization time to deal with infected machines without disrupting business
