Aligo Deploys Sana Security's Primary Response to Strengthen Network Security Architecture.

SAN MATEO, Calif. -- Sana Security, Inc., a leader in host-based intrusion prevention software, today announced that Aligo Inc., a mobile enterprise software company, has deployed Primary Response to protect critical host servers and applications across its global enterprise.

A global leader in mobile enterprise software, Aligo, Inc. provides packaged and custom applications, including ready-to-use mobile application services and rapid mobile enablement of any corporate enterprise application. Understanding the necessity to move beyond simple worm suppression and deploy a defense-in-depth security strategy, Aligo deployed Primary Response to meet strict enterprise protection, manageability, scalability, and performance guidelines. Using Primary Response, Aligo has created a vulnerability shield from unknown and zero-day attacks allowing the security and IT staff to download, test and deploy patch updates without exposing critical information assets.

"We reviewed numerous host-based intrusion prevention vendors looking for the highest level of protection, the ability to scale and support custom applications and the capacity to provide a high-level forensic reporting," said Jeff Capone, CTO of Aligo, Inc. "Primary Response's flexibility and advanced manageability features, combined with its level of comprehensive protection addressed all of our needs and seemed like the obvious choice."

Aligo, Inc. deployed Primary Response across its host-based servers and operating systems in North America, Asia and Europe. The combination of out-of-the-box code injection suppression and Primary Response's Adaptive Profiling Technology (SanAPT) provides Aligo with immediate asset protection while Primary Response self-learns normal application behavior and automatically thwarts potential attacks that are undetectable by rules and signature-based solutions. Primary Response is designed to operate almost completely independent of IT administration, enabling it to protect and scale across hundreds of enterprise servers.

"What Aligo and many other customers have come to realize, is that traditional signature-based and rule-based solutions invite unknown, zero-day attacks into the organization," said Timothy Eades, senior vice president of marketing for Sana Security. "There is a critical need for protection of core information assets and Sana continues to see traction as enterprise demand for host protection increases."

As the world's only host-based intrusion prevention solution based upon the principles of the human immune system, Primary Response scales to protect thousands of mission critical servers, applications, and operating systems from malicious code. The product adapts easily to legitimate system and application changes, detects criminal behavior, and reduces false positive fire drills that overwhelm IT departments with useless data and non-urgent security alerts.
