New Stronghold in Your System’s Line of Defence!
[author:SoftSphere Technologies Public time:Jul 26, 2006]

DefenceWall HIPS is a proactive solution to fortify PC systems against malware threats. It effectively curbs activities of untrustworthy processes and applications, depriving them of any chance to interfere into critical system areas. Full system integration allows using DefenceWall HIPS either alone or as a part of a multifold defence system.No signatures, no database updates, no popup windows, no false positives.

SoftSphere Technologies announces the release of a new version of DefenceWall HIPS, a behaviour-based protection against malware that effectively thwarts illicit activities of malicious programs. It protects the user’s system against spy- and adware, keyloggers, rootkits, and other threats emerging in global networks. By limiting the rights of applications and processes most vulnerable to attacks, you can prevent the threats from spreading their tentacles into such critical system areas as registry and system boot, drivers and services, physical memory and global hooks. Moreover, the application of the proactive methods known as sandbox and virtualisation shields your system from zero-day threats, for which signatures have not yet been prepared. Unlike reactive signature-based solutions, DefenceWall HIPS v1.61 develops the immunity to any virulent process in the system and makes its deployment virtually impossible.

“DefenceWall HIPS prevents any untrusted application or process from interfering into critical system areas,” says Ilya Rabinovich, CEO of SoftSphere Technologies. “And since most malware depends on system registry, drivers, and services in their illicit activities, they can’t function. Likewise, untrusted applications are deprived of rights to meddle with other application settings. They are left to wither and die. Using DefenceWall Event log, you can trace any module with a virulent activity and eradicate it. This is particularly important for zero-day threats, that none of signature-based solutions can protect you from. Efficiency tests on real threats demonstrate the program’s ability to terminate malicious activities. The most recent test on .WMF zero-day IE exploit showed that the program’s restrictions easily prevent the attempts to change the wallpaper, IE start and search pages, default URL’s; firewall, autostart, and other system settings.”

Although the program offers default lists of trusted and untrustworthy applications, users can easily manage the settings, delegate temporary rights to act as trusted and recall them at any time. The program is developed as a set-and-forget security solution and, once the user defines the lists, it takes over the care of the system’s security. No pop-ups or dialogues with policy requests will ever bother you. Only the system tray indication and the program’s event log provide information on illicit activities. But even in the absence of any response from the user, the program blocks all attempts of Untrusted modules or processes spawned within to trespass the borders of virtual zones allocated to them. It is possible, however, to terminate activities of applications or the whole Untrusted group manually, by clicking the red button in the program window.
