Greencastle’s innovative Vulner- ability Shielding application makes the prevention of malware attacks easy to track and manage. Preventative security is better than reactive security provided by most antivirus applications because the attacking software doesn’t get the chance to attack the host system.

Worried about data theft or compliance issues, such as HIPAA or SOX?
Is patching taking up too much of your time and driving you and your staff crazy?

Are you spending too much time and money on ineffective software security solutions? Now you can do something about it.

Each single software vulnerability hole breeds hundreds of attacks. Attacks are like flies buzzing in through the vulnerability holes in your system. If you had a hole in your window screen, would you hire somebody to stand outside and swat flies (like anti-virus solutions do) or would you block the hole until you could get the screen replaced?

So stop swatting the attacks buzzing around your vulnerability holes and block the hole itself by using Greencastle’s next-generation Vulnerability Shielding technology.

Vulnerability Shielding

Greencastle automatically places a shield over your vulnerability holes. Shielding does not affect non-vulnerable software at all and even vulnerable Shielded software runs with full function and no detectable overhead.

We are offering Vulnerability Shielding at a special introductory rate to a select few customers who are motivated to reduce their security costs and headaches.

It works like this: When a new vulnerability hole is discovered, Greencastle distributes data to identify the holes in the vulnerable components and instantly Shield the holes from use by attacks. There are no software updates or reboots required.

That’s it.

A few FAQ’s:

What does the overhead look like?
Non-vulnerable components are unaffected. The overhead for Shielded software is not measurable. It installs very quickly and, once installed, requires no oversight. No signature updates, no system scanning, no database to manage.

Will I still need to download patches?
There is no need to wait for and install a patch. In fact, instead of patching, you can wait for the next release — which has been tested.

Will I still need the usual ant-virus (AV) and other security measures, like anti-spyware (ASW)?
Keep your network firewall. Vulnerability Shielding replaces AV and ASW, so they are probably a waste of money. You can keep AV and ASW if you like. Shielding prevents attackers from getting in and running software on your system.

Does Vulnerability Shielding stop zero-day attacks?
Yes, it stops them all. Be careful, most security tools that claim to stop zero-day attacks actually only catch some of them. Whitelisting will stop all zero-day attacks, but has other problems — see below.

Does Vulnerability Shielding modify my application?
Vulnerability Shielding does not change any application or system code. It is not a patch. I just watches the vulnerability holes and blocks attacks from flying in.

Is Vulnerability Shielding like whitelisting?
No. Whitelisting requires intrusive system scans and complex management of the whitelist database. Vulnerability Shielding has no database and requires no scanning.

Does Greencastle Vulnerability Shielding provide attack reporting?
Shielded software instantly detects any attempts to use a vulnerability hole and reports all details to a central server. If you want to do forensic analysis, there is just the right type of detailed information. The Greencastle system provides concise, precise, and useful forensic and compliance information

Greencastle’s Vulnerability Shielding™ Technology

Older technology can only look at applications from the outside. Greencastle’s Vulnerability Shielding opens an unprecedented real-time view of what is actually going on inside your applications.
— Providing early-warning problem notification
— Enabling new levels of application reliability and productivity
— Blocking all Malware
— Lowering Admin overhead and related costs

 

The Greencastle Vulnerability Shielding Technology also provides by far the most useful and precise forensic and compliance information. Such precise information is either not available from current systems or if available, requires hours of analysis to find. Greencastle works well with existing network IDS/IPS systems and especially well with network event correlation systems, providing more relevant events much sooner. Netork events can be supplied in standard Syslog format.

Greencastle Application Integrity

— Provides new levels of system reliability and productivity.
— Easy installation, no further administration required.
— Event generation for network protection systems.
— Protects with a light touch in a single, easily deployable solution.
— Small footprint and no detectable overhead.

Products now available for:

Windows XP, Server 2003 and Windows XP Embedded
