StormShield is the best alternative for matching or exceeding CSA security

27 Sept 2010
SkyRecon Systems, the premier provider of integrated, proactive endpoint security solutions, today announced the launch of the CSA Replacement Program for customers using the discontinued Cisco Security Agent (CSA). Cisco has recently announced the end-of-life of the CSA product, and as a result, CSA customers must find an effective alternative to protecting their endpoint systems. The program includes special pricing, terms, and migration packages designed to ensure a smooth financial and operational transition.  

CSA has generally been regarded as having very strong endpoint security with one of the strongest Host Intrusion Protection System (HIPS) offerings in the market and its users have come to rely on the trusted security provided by Cisco. With the discontinuation of CSA, its users are now required to find an alternative for the long-term prospect of protecting their endpoints; a potentially daunting task as not all offerings available to them provide the same level of protection, control, and granularity.

StormShield is unique in offering CSA users the highest levels of protection - the protection levels that they have come to depend on.  Industry analysts and customers who have reviewed the StormShield HIPS protection believe that it stands alone in providing a multi-layered set of protections that match or exceed the CSA security and management granularity.  

StormShield’s Host Intrusion Prevention System capabilities have eclipsed all other competitive approaches and offers:

  • 3rd-generation protection against buffer overflows with 5 integrated, collaborative layers of protections (ASLR, Nx/Xd, backtracing, honeypot and ret-lib-c)

  • Deep protection against Rootkits

  • Complete kernel-level control

  • Verification by file type on USB drives/CDs/DVDs

With its ability to protect against kernel attacks by detecting and blocking the installation of rootkits, StormShield is keeping its promise to deliver the most proactive and best-performing security offering in the market. With continued investments in its patented HIPS technologies, StormShield is delivering an unprecedented level of system protection and is strengthening its lead in the field of behavioral security.

In addition to the industry’s leading HIPS protection, the StormShield Endpoint Security Suite offers CSA users the opportunity to protect many more aspects of their endpoint systems through the lightweight integration of protection layers including:

  • Powerful Application Control and Process Control – Whitelist + Blacklist management and control of applications and their spawned processes

  • Device Control – Management and control of endpoint I/O ports and devices (USB, CD/DVD, Bluetooth, FireWire, Parallel Ports, etc.)

  • Network access control – Management and control of wired and wireless ports and connections, including integration with industry leading NAC vendor offerings

  • Pre-boot full disk encryption and post-boot file/folder-based encryption

  • Traditional Anti-virus and Anti-malware protections

Current CSA customers can be confident that StormShield will exceed the protection that they have today in a cost effective way with minimum transition challenges.
