COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Heimdal Security today announced that its THOR Enterprise product had won the Anti-Malware Solution of the Year award at the Computing Security Awards 2018 last week.
- THOR Enterprise won over 12 different products, including those from industry leaders Malwarebytes, Kaspersky, Symantec & Trend Micro.
- Key technology differentiators for THOR Enterprise included providing 3 distinct layers of enterprise class proactive protection (X-Ploit Resilience), prevention (DarkLayer GUARD) & remediation (THOR Vigilance Next-Gen AV)
The Computing Security Awards are organized by one of the most influential and widely read cybersecurity publications in Europe. Out of 12 products nominated for Anti-Malware Solution of the Year, Heimdal Security's THOR Enterprise was awarded the first prize, beating out industry leaders like Malwarebytes, Kaspersky, Symantec & Trend Micro.
"We are thrilled that our focus on threat prevention, not just mitigation, has been recognized by so many voters as the best choice for an anti-malware solution," said Morten Kjaersgaard, Heimdal Security CEO.
"This is a huge vote of confidence and an incentive to continue expanding our unique, both proactive and reactive approach to endpoint security. We have always focused on offering modular, cost-effective threat-prevention solutions for organizations big and small, as we believe advanced EDR and intelligence is the one key to achieving a security architecture that's resilient against sophisticated threats," he added.
"This award is a validation of the approach many of our VAR's and MSP's are taking with Heimdal THOR Enterprise", said Angus Shaw, Sales Manager at Brigantia Partners Ltd, a leading value-added managed services distributor in the UK. "They like having the option to add-on THOR Foresight (with X-Ploit Resilience & DarkLayer GUARD) to an existing AV to increase protection at their customers' endpoints, or replace that AV with THOR Vigilance Next-Gen AV at a price point that's significantly lower than other Next-Gen AV vendors'."
About THOR Enterprise
THOR Enterprise is a next-gen approach to endpoint security. The embedded VectorN Detection is a unique threat communication filtering algorithm that uses behavioral analysis of incoming and outgoing traffic to prevent attacks that cannot be detected by signature-based, reactive solutions. Through the proprietary and complementary DarkLayer GUARD, organizations protected by THOR can map out critical endpoints in their environment, obtaining valuable IOAs and IOCs necessary for true endpoint detection and response (EDR). The acclaimed X-Ploit Resilience module in THOR Enterprise allows organizations to automatically patch security-critical 3rd-party software across the board, with no location or scheduling restraints, eliminating vulnerabilities and extraneous costs all in one go. To provide customers with true, multi-layered security, THOR Enterprise also includes a market-leading Next-Gen AV module, THOR Vigilance AV, with 4 layers of protection, including Signatures, Heuristics/Behavior Analysis, Process Monitoring/Whitelisting & Cloud Sandboxing, for impeccable detection and mitigation.
Only Heimdal Security's THOR Enterprise product allows customers to pick which layer(s) to add to their end-points, to customize their solution based on their needs & budget.
