COLUMBUS, Ohio/EWORLDWIRE/Aug. 21, 2008 --- MicroSolved Inc. has released a new tool for organizations to use in the battle against internal attacks from rogue employees, contractors or malware infected machines. The new tool, called HoneyPoint(TM) Trojan, builds upon the already successful HoneyPoint Security Server(TM) platform to add even more capabilities to help organizations secure their private data against compromise. When tampered with, special applications and pieces of content that look like real programs, archives, documents, HTML content and more they gather information about the source of the attack and alert the security team to the problem so that they can act to protect the real data from compromise.
"Attackers have been using Trojan Horses against victims for a long time, but now we have devised a way to turn the tables on hackers and data thieves," said Brent Huston, CEO of MicroSolved. "We have significantly upped the risks they face when they attempt to compromise our clients' networks."
Allan Bergen, business development director for MicroSolved, noted, "HoneyPoint users have seen great progress in identifying and mitigating attacks in their earliest stage, thereby reducing the need for network-based intrusion detection products. They also have been reporting a notable reduction in the amount of human time and effort needed to ensure the security of internal systems. With HoneyPoint Trojans, we take the game to the next level and add some new offensive capabilities to their security postures. Attackers just won't know what is real and what is a trap anymore. Many HoneyPoint users have been telling us that this is exactly what they were waiting for to help them find internal users who access data that they shouldn't and to help them with a real solution for finding and closing data leaks."
Customers already using HoneyPoint Security Server should consult their account executive to learn more about adding to their defenses.
