Government Security News presents EnCase from Guidance Software with the award for best cyber crime investigative software
Guidance Software has announced that Government Security News has named EnCase Cybersecurity the winner in the “Best Cyber Crime Investigative Software” category of its first annual Homeland Security Awards. The company will be recognized next week in a ceremony at the Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday, October 27, 2009. “We are delighted to have been selected by Government Security News as a Homeland Security Award winner,” said Victor Limongelli, President and CEO for Guidance Software. “With the ever-increasing number of threats to data security and instances of cyber attacks, the need to proactively seek out undiscovered threats has made EnCase Cybersecurity a truly groundbreaking product.” “Congratulations to Guidance Software on being named the top cyber crime investigative software solution in this inaugural year of the Homeland Security Awards,” said Jacob Goodwin, editor in chief of Government Security News. “This selection puts it into an elite group of vendors and government agencies who, in the quest for a more secure homeland, have demonstrated excellence and innovation during the past year.” EnCase Cybersecurity enables organizations to identify and analyze undiscovered threats, such as polymorphic or metamorphic malware, packed files, and other advanced hacking techniques that evade traditional network- or host-based defenses. Its powerful investigative capabilities provide organizations with the ability to search across their networks for sensitive or confidential data, such as credit card numbers, account numbers or intellectual property, and mitigate risk by wiping sensitive or confidential data from unauthorized locations, and removing malware and malware artifacts from hard drives, RAM, and the Windows Registry on laptops, desktops, and servers. Its disk-level forensic access of data on endpoints provides visibility into endpoint risk, with the ability to compare endpoints against a trusted baseline and/or an included hash database (both whitelist and blacklist). Guidance Software has built an impressive list of government agency customers for its EnCase solutions, including the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, SEC, State Department, Department of Justice, Department of Defence, and others. Additionally, EnCase software has achieved necessary accreditations for deployment on government networks, including DIACAP, FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria EAL2.
