Technology Pathways Receives Top Pick Award from ITDefense Magazine

ProDiscover® selected as the recommended choice for computer forensics and incident response.

Coronado, CA (PRWEB) January 9, 2006 -- Technology Pathways, LLC announced today that it has received a Top Pick award from ITDefense Magazine in their January 2006 buyer’s guide edition. ITDefense Magazine was established in 2005 to help “set the standard for network security and beyond.” With readership of over 100,000 professionals, it is rapidly becoming one of the leading publications focusing exclusively on IT security.

ProDiscover was selected as a Top Pick over other computer forensic solutions for its performance and value. Priced at under $10,000, it provides affordable remotely enabled computer forensics capability which allows IT Security specialists to forensically examine a computer system within their network while the machine is live and running. This allows for investigations and incident response processes to take place with minimal disruption to work flow and avoids costly downtime. For internal employee investigations, ProDiscover can operate in a “stealth” mode to minimize the possibility of detection by the employee under investigation, even if they are currently using their computer.

Evidence collected by ProDiscover has been used successfully in both criminal and civil court cases. It accesses the computer disk and memory at the lowest level, circumventing the file system, and therefore will not alter valuable metadata such as file Modified, Created or Accesses times. It has a unique patent pending method to detect second and third generation Trojans and rootkits based on their “cloaking” behavior and therefore can find compromises without needing a signature.

Technology Pathways, LLC is a leading edge provider of computer and network security tools and services for the Corporate IT, government, education, law enforcement and legal communities. The ProDiscover® family of products provides affordable software solutions in the areas of computer forensics, incident response, system auditing, internal investigations and electronic discovery.
