• Firewall and Intrusion Prevention – blocks malware before it spreads to the machine and controls traffic.
• Application and Device Control – controls file, registry, and device access and behavior; also offers whitelisting and blacklisting.
• Power Eraser – an aggressive tool, which can be triggered remotely, to address advanced persistent threats and remedy tenacious malware.
• Host Integrity – ensures endpoints are protected and compliant by enforcing policies, detecting unauthorized changes, and conducting damage assessments with the ability to isolate a managed system that does not meet your requirements.
