Complete Real-Time Endpoint Protection Designed for Growing Enterprises
EMERYVILLE, CA-- BigFix Inc., a global leader in real-time IT security and management solutions for the distributed Enterprise, announced the availability of BigFix EndPoint Defender (code name Project Fortinbras), a complete, real-time, endpoint protection solution designed specifically for dynamic, mid-size enterprises. BigFix EndPoint Defender combines desktop and mobile device management with proactive endpoint security into an easy-to-deploy, highly flexible, policy-driven solution. Designed specifically for organizations with 1,000 to 5,000 endpoints, BigFix EndPoint Defender integrates BigFix's award-winning anti-malware, patch management, vulnerability assessment, and asset discovery functionality all in one easy-to-deploy, easy-to-manage solution.
"Most vendors in this space think they can acquire a hodgepodge of
technology pieces-parts, put them in a box with a new name and say done.
That's just irresponsible," said BigFix President and CEO Dave Robbins.
"Growing enterprises need the same levels of endpoint protection and
management as established enterprises do, but simply can't absorb the
management overhead, professional services, and hardware infrastructure
these 'Frankenproducts' demand. BigFix EndPoint Defender delivers the
right functionality with the same high performance levels our large
customers enjoy priced for growing enterprises. It's built on the same
revolutionary single platform/single console/single multi-function agent
BigFix architecture so it's easy and cost effective to deploy, manage, and
implement."
With BigFix EndPoint Defender, growing businesses can gain control over one
of the most vulnerable elements of their security posture -- mobile
endpoints. Given that the majority of computers purchased by growing
enterprises are laptops and notebooks, this is particularly important.
Recent research conducted by Gatepoint Research on behalf of BigFix found
that the inability of security configuration management (SCM) solutions to
manage mobile workers disconnected from the network to be the single
greatest vulnerability that could contribute to security attacks. BigFix
EndPoint Defender gives IT managers the tools they need most by providing
continuous policy enforcement for remote devices, whether they're on or off
the network.
Built on the BigFix platform, BigFix EndPoint Defender is the solution for
growing IT organizations in need of an extensible, tightly integrated
endpoint security suite, with real-time visibility and control. It
includes BigFix AntiThreat (antivirus, anti-spyware, and endpoint
firewall), and BigFix Client Manager for AntiVirus, which gives customers
the flexibility to manage legacy third-party antivirus clients. Patch
management, vulnerability assessment, rogue and unmanaged asset discovery
functionality is also included. BigFix EndPoint Defender supports
Microsoft Windows.
In addition, BigFix announced that it is offering a special introductory
price of $28 per endpoint for all existing Lumension (formerly PatchLink),
McAfee, Microsoft, and Symantec customers.
