Blue Ridge/Secure EdgeGuard™
Laptop and desktop computers are the soft underbelly of an enterprise. They possess sensitive data and interact with other systems with yet more confidential data. Any data traversing these endpoints can be stolen. Most computers rely on nearly obsolete anti-virus/spyware products for protection, stopping an average of 29% of malware.
Further, IT personnel lack visibility and control over computers both on and off the enterprise. Consequently, otherwise preventable data leakage problems exist because computers are not sufficiently locked down to reduce risks from hacking, insider mistakes/theft, careless use of removable media, hazardous application settings, and under-utilized 3rd party security software. EdgeGuard enables IT personnel to protect, control, and audit all computers on and off the enterprise, providing comprehensive operational awareness.
Enterprise Computer Protection, Control, and Audit
EdgeGuard is centrally managed client security software that protects enterprise computers from sophisticated malware infestations and empowers Administrators with visibility and control to lower data loss risks and IT operations costs.
