Equipped with 3rd generation protection against buffer overflows and new protection against rootkits, StormShield v5.5 offers unequaled protection in workstation security.

29 June 2010
“Organizations are facing an ever widening spectrum of threats and attacks and require protections that are not offered by traditional signature based AV programs” said Bob Foley, CEO of Matrix. “StormShield v5.5 takes HIPS protection to a new level and, with its multi-layered approach, assures protection from these new waves of attacks.”

Already widely recognized for the performance and capabilities of its Host-IPS protection, StormShield is continuing its innovative development efforts in order to remain at the forefront of computer security. StormShield v5.5's Host-IPS has eclipsed competitive approaches and offers:

  • 3rd generation protection against buffer overflows with 5 layers of protections (ASLR, Nx/Xd, backtracing, honeypot and ret-lib-c)
  • Protection against Rootkits
  • Verification by file type on CDs/DVDs
With this latest generation of buffer overflow protection and new protections against kernel attacks that can detect and block the installation of rootkits, StormShield is keeping its promise to deliver the most proactive and best-performing security offering on the market. With this release of StormShield v5.5, SkyRecon is delivering an incomparable level of system protection and is strengthening its net lead in the field of behavioral security.

“StormShield v5.5 provides remarkable advancements in automatic workstation protection. Working at the lowest level of the operating system, our technology is capable of detecting and blocking increasingly numerous and sophisticated attack mechanisms,” says Yann Torrent, Director of Research and Development at SkyRecon. "In addition, StormShield is the only solution on the market that is also capable of protecting workstations against unknown intrusions and attacks."
StormShield Version v5.5 also offers other major advancements that solidify StormShield’s leadership position in integrated endpoint security.

Some examples of the other new features of StormShield v5.5 include:

  • Support for Windows 7
  • FIPS 140-2 Certification
  • StormShield Flexible Data Encryption (FDE), has been optimized for:
    • Improved performance
    • Single Sign-On and a guest account for Full Disk Encryption
    • The option of authorizing a system reboot without prior for scheduled maintenance operations
StormShield continues its commitment to offering advanced security while reducing the administrative burden and the ergonomics of the StormShield console have also been improved and administration has been simplified through:

  • Enhanced administrator monitoring, action logging and remediation
  • For USB storage device encryption, a standalone decryption application is automatically placed on the encrypted removable media with a challenge/response access option
  • Management of software updates by groups
  • Content reorganization and the addition of new functions (automatic sort, search, etc.) for better usability
  • New reports

Based my experience, the seemingly high price is easily half of what I would expect to spend if I tried to piece all these controls together from various vendor offerings.
