Frost & Sullivan report uncovers the operational benefits of unified endpoint security

7 Jan 2009
SkyRecon Systems, the premier provider of integrated, proactive endpoint security solutions, today announced the availability of a new whitepaper commissioned by SkyRecon and produced by Frost & Sullivan, “Increased Security Posture, Reduced Risk – Fewer Resources and Reduced Cost,” which describes the numerous benefits of employing a single client endpoint protection platform such as SkyRecon’s StormShield Security Suite.

To help organizations tangibly grasp the operational and cost benefits associated with utilizing a single endpoint protection client to address their multitude of system security and data protection projects, SkyRecon commissioned Frost & Sullivan to draw upon both their breadth of expertise and collection of research and to then couple that information with relevant client case study information.

A few items extracted from the report:
     •   Using SkyRecon saved 10 mobile banking executives $304,824.
     •   The impact for the end user and the system resources is minimal; StormShield does not slow things down and no additional money is needed to add memory, hard drives, or systems to the infrastructure.
     •   Through the use of a unified solution, an organization will benefit from higher performance on the endpoint, enhanced business-enabling controls for the end users, and reduced IT and security management efforts overall.

“While some IT departments may find themselves in a constant state of reaction, by leveraging the multi-functional StormShield client, they can take a more proactive approach to increase both their security and compliance postures while enhancing productivity and lessening security costs,” says Martha Vasquez, Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst. “SkyRecon StormShield addresses many of the challenges faced in the ever-changing security market.  As threats continue to increase and become more complex, StormShield is prepared to handle them.”

Leveraging its world-class security research and designed/developed as a single-client endpoint security solution from its inception, StormShield Security Suite offers risk-based dynamic policy enforcement across integrated system protection, data protection, and access control capabilities, and is delivered as a multi-layered, lightweight single endpoint security suite comprising: content encryption, device control, application control, anti-virus/anti-spyware, host-based intrusion prevention (HIPS), system firewall, wireless security, and network access control (NAC).
