Software Delivers Signature-less Protection from Known
and New Malware and Intrusions
― Privacyware Targets
Zero-Day Windows Threats with Behavior-based Dynamic
Security Agent ―
RED BANK, NJ – June 13,
2006 – Privacyware, an innovative provider of proactive
desktop and host defense and enterprise security
intelligence software, today announced the availability
of Dynamic Security Agent (DSA), a multi-layered
endpoint security software application designed to
protect Windows desktops and servers from malware and
unauthorized use. Available free for personal use,
Dynamic Security Agent features signature-less
protection from viruses and malware and detects hacker
and cyber criminal attempts to inject malicious code,
install rootkits, Trojans and spyware, spoof IPs, bypass
firewalls and generally gain access, control and/or
damage home and corporate systems and private data.
Dynamic Security Agent’s
layered approach to PC and enterprise endpoint defense
addresses the Windows vulnerabilities and progressive
techniques that hackers exploit to gain unauthorized
system access and deliver malicious payloads. DSA
detects, blocks, quarantines and provides detailed
actionable alerts for untrusted incoming and outgoing
application and process-specific Internet traffic.
Leveraging proprietary behavioral anomaly detection
technology, DSA also models and monitors system behavior
to identify and block activity characteristic of known
malware, hacking, phishing and other threat types as
well as activity which deviates from typical patterns
beyond acceptable levels.
“These days, what appears
normal online; a greeting card, bank site, attachment,
etc. may in fact be a trick that opens the door for
online crime,” stated Privacyware CEO, Greg Salvato.
“Dynamic Security Agent offers proactive protection
against the latest techniques used to gain illegal
access and control of computing systems. Available free
for personal use, Privacyware arms individuals and IT
administrators with an important and unique intrusion
prevention and security intelligence capability for
their Windows environments.”
An ideal complement to
virus and spyware scanning and removal software as well
as software firewalls, Dynamic Security Agent enables
personal computer users and IT managers within small,
medium or large organizations to more effectively and
proactively protect the environments and private data
for which they are responsible against known and new
threats.
Pricing and Availability
Dynamic Security Agent 1.0 is available now as a stand
alone solution and is free of charge for personal or
non-commercial use. An enterprise-grade, centrally
