Integrity 2.2, viewers will see safeguards enterprise networks from penetration by malicious code or targeted attacks with its combination of unparalleled protection for every network endpoint along with central security management and enforcement capabilities. In addition to further security hardening See OS hardening. , Integrity 2.2 features expanded integration with Check Point, more streamlined and flexible security administration as well as additional rapid deployment options, making it the most secure defense against hackers for enterprise PCs. "As a law firm, we maintain highly confidential information Noun 1. confidential information - an indication of potential opportunity; "he got a tip on the stock market"; "a good lead for a job" steer, tip, wind, hint, lead for our clients, making it imperative that we secure both the corporate network and the individual endpoint from intrusion," said Scott Kelly, manager of network operations, Heller Ehrman Heller Ehrman LLP is an international law firm of more than 700 attorneys working across 13 offices in the United States, Europe, and Asia.[2] Heller Ehrman was founded in San Francisco in 1890 and has additional offices located in most of the major financial centers White & McAuliffe LLP LLP - Lower Layer Protocol . "Zone Labs Integrity lets us centrally develop and manage security policies for hundreds of employees working across 12 offices worldwide. It's the only solution that ensures that even remote employees have the appropriate security in place before they can open a connection to the network." These network security and policy capabilities significantly assist administrators in providing proactive security across the entire enterprise, thereby reducing the risk of proliferation and damage from Internet-borne threats like the recent SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. Slammer A worm that caused a billion dollars worth of damage on the Internet on January 25, 2003. Slammer infected computers all over the Internet by generating random IP addresses and causing the computer's buffer to overflow with its own instructions that replicate itself and start the process worm. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. London-based Mi2g, that worm caused an estimated $950 million to $1.2 billion in damages to business. One of the most notable new features in Integrity 2.2 is an enhanced version of Zone Labs' unique Cooperative Enforcement(TM) technology. Integrity 2.2 introduces Advanced Cooperative Enforcement (ACE) which gives even more control over network access policy to security administrators by allowing them to define network access rules at a very granular level so that security policy is customized to an enterprise's specific requirements. "It is uncommon to have complete control over endpoints these days, with remote employees and connected business partners amidst oncoming ubiquity Ubiquity See also Omnipresence. Burma-Shave their signs seen as “verses of the wayside throughout America.” [Am. Commerce and Folklore: Misc. ," said Pete Lindstrom, Research Director for Spire Security. "Advanced Cooperative Enforcement ensures that the system administrator can set ground rules and ensure that they are enforced in specific ways, all leading to a protected enterprise." Recent statistics from the CERT Coordination Center The CERT Coordination Center was created by DARPA in November 1988 after the Morris worm struck. It is a major coordination center in dealing with internet security problems. at Carnegie-Mellon University underscore security administrators' need for more flexible tools to address the ever-increasing number of network vulnerabilities and malicious attacks. In the last two years alone, according to CERT, reported vulnerabilities have increased by 69%, placing more demands on network security solutions. "Remote access technologies like VPNs, broadband, and wireless connections have increased the risk to critical data and IT systems," said Frederick Felman, vice president of marketing, Zone Labs. "Reducing these risks while maintaining employee productivity requires balancing strong protection with seamless policy management and enforcement that is able to span the entire enterprise. Our focus on best-of-breed security and deep partnerships with enterprise technology leaders delivers a superb enterprise-class solution that exceeds these requirements in Zone Labs Integrity 2.2." Streamlined and More Flexible Security Administration Security administrators have more options for developing and deploying security policy. Integrity 2.2 provides administrators with a wider choice of firewall rules, from classic 'ports and protocol' restrictions through to more focused application-specific rules, allowing a greater level of control than any competing product. With this wider choice of rules, administrators who are skilled with traditional perimeter-style rules can more easily administrate ad·min·is·trate tr.v. ad·min·is·trat·ed, ad·min·is·trat·ing, ad·min·is·trates To administer. administrate Verb [-trating, -trated rules across multiple policies. In addition, the Integrity Monitor, which provides information about security events, is enhanced with new searching and sorting capabilities that increase usability for administrators. Advanced Cooperative Enforcement (ACE) ACE optimizes network security with the most flexible and dynamic security policy creation options for administrators. Security administrators may specify conditional rules for network access at the file, registry key or memory process level. This enables administrators to respond quickly and consistently on an enterprise-wide basis to new vulnerabilities, threats and changing security requirements. Expanded Security Policy Enforcement with Check Point Integration with VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. vendors has been extended in Integrity 2.2 to include Check Point SecureClient. Companies employing the Check Point VPN solution benefit from knowing that Integrity's Cooperative Enforcement technology provides the safest remote access by guaranteeing up-to-date endpoint policies are in force before allowing Check Point VPN users permission to access the enterprise network. Hardened Security for the Most Powerful Protection Security in Integrity 2.2 is further hardened with additional defenses that block the latest security vulnerabilities and theoretical exploits. In addition to controlling Internet access See how to access the Internet. on an application and application component level to prevent 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.
Finally, dependability in Integrity 2.2 is increased with failover support. These capabilities ensure high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. for both administrative and critical enforcement functions. If Integrity Server software terminates unexpectedly, a redundant Integrity server immediately takes over without loss of client connections, security enforcement or data.
