Bromium Introduces vSentry – First Product to Protect the Enterprise By Design - Jon Oltsik, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)
Bromium announced general availability of Bromium vSentry, its first product based on the Bromium Microvisor. vSentry protects Windows PCs by design from undetectable advanced malware that attacks the enterprise by tricking users into opening poisoned attachments, documents, and websites. vSentry enables IT to safely embrace key trends in mobility, and “anywhere, anytime” access - empowering users to collaborate, access cloud-hosted applications and the consumer web, and open unsafe documents and media without risk to enterprise information or infrastructure.
“Today’s approach to information security relies on the need to detect malware in order to prevent attacks. But modern sophisticated malware can circumvent this method of detection,” said Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst, ESG. “Bromium vSentry de-couples protection from detection, with an architecture designed to safeguard vulnerable tasks using hardware isolation. This design makes real-time defense against un-detectable malware possible, while also providing in-depth forensic capabilities to study the intent of the attack without risk of exposure. Micro-virtualization has the potential to become a profound, disruptive change in information and infrastructure protection.” - Jon Oltsik, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) - Sept. 2012
