MSI Honeypot Security Software - Wasp - Declares War on Bots and Malware: Works With Anti-Virus Software for a Deeper DefenseOct 08, 2010 (EWORLDWIRE via Comtex) -- Companies which have used anti-virus software to guard desktop computers from attacks find attackers are becoming more sophisticated, and a wider security net such as HoneyPoint Wasp needs to be cast as the answer to this increasingly critical puzzle. HoneyPoint Wasp allows organizations to monitor the security of user workstations and Windows environments for the most common signs of intrusion, without the overhead of logs, signature updates and heuristics. Wasp detects intrusions and infections even in cases when traditional anti-virus fails. Used in conjunction with other common Windows security tools, Wasp creates a robust, customized detection capability to head off attackers and malware before they can spread their attacks to other systems and steal your data. "We're declaring war on bots and malware!"A said Brent Huston, CEO and Security Visionary for MicroSolved. "Wasp provides a deeper defense than AV software alone. It extends the power of AV software beyond heuristics and focuses on identifying specific behaviors that indicate suspicious and malicious activity on a workstation. Wasp is able to detect new applications running on the workstation, plus a variety of other common signs of compromise. Even better, it does all of this without false positives, the need for signature updates or ongoing tuning. It actually simplifies the workload and resources needed to protect an environment even while increasing enterprise security visibility."A To learn more about HoneyPoint Wasp and how it can help an organization protect the desktop network, visit http://microsolved.com/2009/HoneyPoint_Wasp.html.
