AppGuard stops attacks by blocking the actions malware must do to succeed, instead of trying to recognize the malware itself.

AppGuard is the essential layer in any security-conscious company's defenses. AppGuard complements your existing endpoint security solutions such as AV, EDR and XDR. If you need to reduce your malware risks and cyber chaos, learn more about how AppGuard can help.

"The number of alerts we receive from our detection tools that we previously needed to investigate has dramatically reduced, saving important IT management time." - Global CISO, Healthcare IT Services

Stops without Detecting

Prevents attacks by stopping malicious actions to compromise, as opposed to anti-virus and EDR/XDR solutions trying to tell bad from good among nearly infinite malware patterns.

Successful War Record

No protection tools are 100%. Yet, AppGuard successfully defeated most major headlined malware since 2020.

Coexists with all

AppGuard allows detection tools to be more focused and for defenders to accomplish more with what they have. This can lead to significant cost savings.

Disrupting malware at the source:
AppGuard's 3-point Policy Protection

AppGuard does not focus on detecting the cyber threat itself, but prevents any action that
harms the system. This is accomplished by combining three kernel-level enforced controls:

LOCATION-BASED POLICY

Zero Trust Space

The Operating System is
separated into User Space and System Space

OS INTERACTION POLICY - PATENTED

Isolation

Applications in System Space are grouped into High Risk and non-High risk apps.

PROCESS EXECUTION FLOW POLICY - PATENTED

Inheritance

Inheritance ensures that isolation rules are automatically adapted. Advanced malware cannot hide its actions using a normally unrestricted application.

Never let your guard down with AppGuard

Cost Effective

Reduced false positives means detection tools are more focused and for defenders to accomplish more with what they have.

Simple & Quick Deployment

Over 95% of policies are already defined.

Lightweight

Weight less than 1MB on hard drive and 10MB memory size.

Set & Forget

Adapts to software updates and patches.

Independent & Scalable

Not dependent on cloud or hardware, scales to over 500,000 endpoints.

BENEFITS:

  • Reduced cyber incident response costs by 76%
  • Greater security with less resources and efforts
  • Reduced patch management burden

International Airline
Reduces Cyber Costs

In the airline industry, critical infrastructure must be operational 24x7 to avoid major financial losses. A cyber-breach could jeopardize passenger lives, harm reputation, and significantly impact revenue.

A major global airline with approximately 50,000employees, transporting 7,000,000 passengers around the world per year, deployed an endpoint protection suite from one of the most widely recognized brands. But despite the heavy investment, cyber incident volume continued to increase.

AppGuard offered a solution that would eliminate the need for teams of cybersecurity specialists and would protect endpoints from common software vulnerabilities.AppGuard's patented isolation technology provides pre-compromise protection. The system blocks malware in real-time with no need for detection. Non-conforming actions are immediately blocked and reported (while ensuring that legitimate actions are never blocked). No need for monitoring, investigating, and remediation.

Using AppGuard, the airline reduced staff and technology costs and strengthened cybersecurity.Incident response (IR) staffing went from 24x7operations to 24x5 operations. After continued success,IR labor costs were eventually reduced by 76%.

"We no longer need battalions of specialists to react to malware attacks because AppGuard blocks them at the endpoint as they strike."

CHALLENGES:

  • Protecting sensitive patient data
  • Meeting HIPAA security requirements
  • Preventing another ransomware attack

BENEFITS:

  • Greater protection, less effort/ resources
  • Zero Malware Attacks
  • Peace of mind knowing systems and data are secure

Medical Center
Prevents Ransomware with AppGuard

It is critical for any healthcare institutions to protect their sensitive customer data, and that their systems are up and running 24/7. Being down for any length of time has a significant impact on revenue and costs, as well as puts lives at risk.

But a healthcare organisation's primary focus is on its patients, not IT. Considering the sensitivity of their customer data and lean security team, a solution that provides the highest level of protection and requires minimal dedicated resources to implement and maintain is needed. AppGuard does exactly that.

With AppGuard, all endpoints are without compromise, preventing all types of malware attacks, including zero-day. HIPAA security requirements are important factors for companies in the healthcare industry, and AppGuard assures compliance with HIPAA requirements and eliminates the risk of additional costs from fines.

AppGuard is not a detection tool; it utilizes a unique zero trust approach to prevent any type of attack in real-time. Because of AppGuard's small footprint, it allows applications to operate normally with little impact on CPU usage. It is truly a set and forget solution for any customer's cybersecurity strategy.

"I wish we had installed AppGuard as our first solution. That would have saved us considerable amounts of money and headaches. I'm constantly recommending AppGuard to all my colleagues in my industry."

CHALLENGES:

  • Securing critical infrastructure and data
  • Filling security gaps AV solution cannot address
  • Defending against threats due to human error
  • AV solution's high operational and labor costs, and poor scalability

BENEFITS:

  • Protection against zero-day, ransomware, and in-memory attacks
  • Confidence critical infrastructure and data are secure
  • Pre-compromise security solution that scales
  • Elimination of gaps in security

Law Firm
Achieves Greater Endpoint Security with Less Effort

The safekeeping of client info for law firms is crucial. Law firms, given the sensitivity - and therefore value - of the data they handle are prime targets for cyber attacks. According to the American Bar Association, in 2019 42% of law firms with less than 100 employees experienced a breach.

AppGuard's client was not satisfied with the depth of protection provided by its endpoint security solution. Additionally, the solution was not scalable and fell short on accommodating the firm's rapid growth. Any security breach could lead to significant financial and reputational damage.

A team of cyber experts at the law firm evaluated AppGuard against their in-house AV solution. They put AppGuard through a rigorous pen testing exercise, evaluating AppGuard against various threat vectors like zero- day, in-memory attacks, ransomware, and other attacks. AppGuard stopped 100% of the attacks, many of which the other solution missed.

AppGuard was selected as an effective and scalable solution that they can deploy on new endpoints and servers with minimal effort. Today, AppGuard is deployed globally to protect the firm's critical infrastructure and data.

"With AppGuard we've had no incidents, and now have peace of mind knowing that our critical infrastructure is secure."
