"We had tried giving users administrative rights over applications, but that gave them full reign over their PCs, which meant that unauthorized software began to pollute the desktops," says Will Bradshaw, Network Administrator, Jungle Jim's. "Sometimes the software finds its way onto a user's desktop inadvertently but sometimes a user intentionally wants to run something that we don't want to support." "All sorts of unauthorized software was getting through, such as unintended spyware and malware, and other programs we don't want," he says. Software installed by users, either knowingly or unwittingly, is often the culprit behind today's most notorious security and compliance problems. Current offerings to keep unwanted applications at bay--including security products such as anti-virus or intrusion detection See IDS and IPS. and prevention solutions--offer at best, limited protection against this software and the often costly damage associated with it. Faced with these issues, IT executives typically consider locking down their employees' desktops through user privileges See user permissions. and account controls. Unfortunately, this solution can not be applied consistently to prevent all unauthorized software and so, Jungle Jim's turned to Bit9 for a more powerful way to protect its desktops and laptops. Bradshaw is now rolling out Bit9 Parity[TM], which identifies and stops unauthorized, unknown, rogue, or malicious software from running on corporate desktops. "Now with Bit9, we can control applications, standardize our PC images, as well as understand what is on our computers and keep unapproved un·ap·proved adj.

Bit9 gives Jungle Jim's the ability to decide which applications are approved and appropriate to run and allows the company to specify policy for new, unknown software. Using this approach, the risks associated with all forms of unwanted software, including the next generation of attacks, are substantially reduced. With Bit9 Parity, Jungle Jim's can: 1) Monitor software activity on each PC to identify new software 2) Analyze each software module to determine its trustworthiness 3) Block the software or let it run "We found Bit9 extremely easy to implement and test. The other application control solutions we evaluated were not at all management-friendly," Bradshaw says. "We also found Bit9's hosted demo very easy to use, offering us full functionality."
