In the game of endpoint security, many organizations are caught in a losing battle against some very cunning opponents. Many of today's IT security departments are using basic 'move, countermove' thinking to plan their defenses, which might be fine against more lackluster opponents. The problem is malicious hacking adversaries are ingenious and calculating, cleverly planning their moves in advance. As a result, they're usually one step ahead of their IT security counterparts. In short, we're losing the game — and we'll continue to do so if we don't make some strategic changes to our tactics.

Today more than 2 million malware signatures are identified each month. And stand-alone anti-virus software simply can't keep up. Fortunately, there's a better way with Lumension Intelligent Whitelisting - the industry's first integrated, depth-in-defense endpoint security solution that effectively prevents malware and zero-day attacks without impacting productivity.

Lumension Device Control enables IT managers at Lancashire Care NHS Trust Foundation to create a 'whitelist' of approved devices that are allowed to connect to their network. Everything else is blocked from running on that network by default. The software is granular enough to drill down to a particular serial number of a device to a named employee that allows the employee to use that device for work purposes. So an employee will be enabled to use that device, while all others will be blocked. Similarly, if that employee tries to connect a device that is not on the whitelist, this will be blocked by Lumension Device Control. Any authorized data storage can be logged by Lumension Device Control, so that the IT department always has a record of data downloaded to and from removable USB storage devices.
