Avinti iSolation Server Claims First Place for 'Enterprise Computer Software' in the 2006 Stoel Rives Utah Innovation Awards.LINDON, Utah Lindon is a city in Utah County, Utah, United States. The population was 8,363 at the 2000 census. By 2004 its population had been estimated to increase slightly to 8,489. Geography Lindon is located at (40.338552, -111. -- Avinti Inc. iSolation Server Recognized for Its Innovative Ability to Stop Crimeware and First-Instance Attacks by Testing E-Mail Attachments A file that rides along with an e-mail message. The attached file can be of any type. E-mail programs make it easy to attach a file. For example, in Eudora, all you do is select Attach from the Message menu, browse through the folder hierarchy to find the file you want and then double in a Virtual Machine Avinti Inc., a leading provider of first-instance e-mail outbreak threat protection, today announced the recognition of its iSolation Server as the most innovative enterprise computer software solution in the Stoel Rives Language Rive (plural : rives) is a French word meaning "bank" (of a river). Geography Rives is the name of several places: France Rives is the name of 2 communes in France:
"iSolation Server's unique design was really born out of necessity, as we saw a vital need for a proactive e-mail security solution to eliminate targeted and unknown threats on e-mail attachments," said Ken Krull, chief executive officer at Avinti. "This award recognizes the growing epidemic of commercially motivated, targeted threats Targeted threats are a class of malware destined for one specific organization or industry. A type of crimeware, these threats are of particular concern because they are designed to capture sensitive information. , as well as Avinti's exclusive ability to stamp them out through virtual machine testing." iSolation Server's innovative technology is the only e-mail security solution to pre-test the behavior of potentially harmful e-mail attachments before they steal sensitive data or harm IT infrastructure. By using a secure, virtual replica of the end-user desktop to test and execute attachments before delivery, iSolation Server eliminates new and unknown e-mail crimeware threats that slip by existing pattern-scanning and "day-zero" solutions. In addition, iSolation Server directly combats the rising global trend of "crimeware" -- financially motivated, criminal threats that include malware (MALicious softWARE) Software designed to destroy, aggravate and otherwise make life unhappy. See crimeware, virus, worm, logic bomb, macro virus and Trojan. , Trojan horses It may never be fully completed or, depending on its its nature, it may be that it can never be completed. However, new and revised entries in the list are always welcome.
iSolation Server eliminates the risk of enterprise customers losing confidential, valuable data from criminals who send malicious e-mail attachments. Recognizing the emerging risk from unknown crimeware threats, Consonus, a managed e-mail and IT service provider in Salt Lake City, recently implemented Avinti software to provide a hosted virus- and spam-filtering platform to further protect its enterprise-level financial, health care, technology and higher education higher education Study beyond the level of secondary education. Institutions of higher education include not only colleges and universities but also professional schools in such fields as law, theology, medicine, business, music, and art. customers with iSolation Server. "Offering iSolation Server as a risk mitigation service provides another layer of security to eliminate the vulnerability in receiving e-mail attachments, because it protects unsuspecting users from 'accidentally' opening malicious messages," said Daniel Milburn, chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. at Consonus and president of the Utah Chapter of Information Systems Security Association (ISSA (Information Systems Security Association, Bellingham, WA, www.issa.org) A membership organization that promotes effective management practices for computer security. Founded in 1982, ISSA has chapters in more than 20 countries and hosts an annual conference. ). "As crimeware continues to increase, keeping client data confidential is imperative; iSolation Server's unique virtual machine approach allows us to do just that. It detects new and unknown threats while other 'day-zero' solutions are often still waiting for pattern updates." The Utah Innovation Awards, now in its fourth year, recognizes the highest level of innovative, cutting-edge developments in science and engineering in the state of Utah. A committee of nearly 70 experts from private, government and higher education sectors selected the finalists in seven categories of invention, which included: biotechnology/pharmaceuticals, chemicals/materials science, medical devices, mechanical devices, computer hardware/electrical devices, and computer software. Additional information about the award is available at www.stoel.com/innovation. About Avinti Inc. Avinti Inc. enables organizations to safely use e-mail as a critical communications tool without fear of malicious, costly threats for which no signature pattern exists. Using cutting-edge virtual machine technology, Avinti's iSolation Server is the first e-mail security solution to close the window of vulnerability A window of vulnerability or wov is a time frame within which defensive measures are reduced, compromised or lacking. The term is used with reference to military defences of strategic assets, and also by analogy in computer software to a software vulnerability which is open from unknown threats, testing the intended behavior of e-mail attachments to determine a message's threat potential. Founded in 2002, Avinti works with existing antivirus and e-mail security solutions in a layered security Layered security is a new term used by information protection and online security vendors that describes the practice of leveraging several different point security solutions to protect the digital identities and information of consumer, enterprise or government environments. approach that eliminates Trojan horses, spyware, malware and other unknown e-mail threats from corporate e-mail systems.
