Today's evolving threat landscape requires a new approach to endpoint security. For decades, the security industry has been chasing the infinite list of malicious software and creating a blacklist to prevent it from running. With the exponential growth in malware and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), this reactive approach is now considered incomplete - as evidenced by the number of data breaches still taking place. The Bit9 Parity Suite provides adaptive whitelisting and continuous monitoring for all software and portable storage devices running on each endpoint and this in-the-cloud service assigns a trust rating to all software to identify computers at risk with embedded malware. In addition, the Bit9 Parity Suite's policy-based controls ensure that only trusted software, portable storage devices and configuration changes are made to the endpoint.
