What is Used today for Server Security?

Today, there are mainly two types of security products for servers on the market, anti-virus and white list. Anti-virus type detects and removes malware features based on the pattern matching and is often used for endpoint security. Server attacks are based on communication requests that do not use files, and detection by file scanning, which is adopted in the anti-virus type, is not effective.

Whitelisting uses a list of applications and processes that do not need to be cautious. It allows whitelisted operations but restricts others. By registering to the list and specifying executable programs and processes, malicious programs and operations will not be performed. This method itself seems to be effective for server defense, but since registration is required for each application and process, the list must be managed and updated on a regular basis, resulting in a huge operational cost for maintenance.

AppGuard Server – A Must for Server Security

In recent years, cyber attacks which target Windows file sharing services and SMB vulnerabilities are increasing. In addition, fileless malware that avoids the detection of security products is on the rise, and new measures are required to protect the server. AppGuard Server was developed based on a proven AppGuard technology that has been used for endpoint security for Windows PCs in the USA for the past 20 years.

Unique security policy blocks suspicious processes that is considered illegal in the design of the operating system. The policy does not need to be whitelisted for each process, and the policy set in the parent process is automatically inherited by the child and grandchild processes to protect the system. Because it does not rely on past threat information such as signature files, it completely protects the server from zero-day attacks and unknown malware.



This world leading approach is considered one of the best protection capabilities for servers.
