BLOOMFIELD,

(GLOBE
NEWSWIRE)
— Xcitium,
a
security
platform
provider
focused
on
preventing
damage
caused
by
Malware,
today
announced
availability
of
its
advanced
endpoint
security
solution,
ZeroDwell
Containment,
for
customers
with
or
without
legacy
EDR
products.
Xcitium
multi-patented
technology
closes
the
gaps
in
enterprise
cybersecurity
defenses
left
by
traditional
detection
methods.
According
to
Tim
Bandos,
EVP
of
SOC
services
at
Xcitium:
“However
sophisticated
your
security
stack,
there
will
always
be
new
threats
that
slip
through
the
cracks.
With
an
estimated
560,000
new
pieces
of
malware
created
every
day,
legacy
EDR
vendors
will
fail
to
detect
anywhere
between
1%
and
5%
of
Unknown
hostile
payloads
that
cause
immense
damage.”
ZeroDwell
Containment
is
the
only
solution
in
the
marketplace
that
assures
zero
dwell
time
for
cyber-attacks,
and
the
only
solution
capable
of
preventing
unknown
threats
without
compromising
productivity.
Dwell
time
is
the
amount
of
time
it
takes
to
detect
an
initial
infection
by
an
attacker
from
the
moment
it
enters
the
system.
As
dwell
time
increases,
so
do
the
chances
of
damage,
disruption
or
theft
from
malware,
phishing,
ransomware
and
other
forms
of
cyber-attack.
The
mean
average
dwell
times
in
the
industry
are
well
documented
at
~21
days.
Xcitium’s
ZeroDwell
Containment
isolates
all
unknown
or
suspect
code
entering
an
organization
until
it
can
be
verified
as
trustworthy:
all
unknown
objects
are
guilty
until
proven
innocent.
Unlike
rival
solutions,
end
users,
applications,
data,
and
business
operations
are
never
interrupted
by
ZeroDwell
Containment,
and
contained
attacks
are
no
longer
threats.
Ken
Levine,
Chief
Executive
of
Xcitium:
“No
system
that
relies
on
detection
alone
can
ensure
all
malware
will
be
found
and
eliminated
before
it
causes
damage.
Traditional
detection
is
unable
to
detect
unknown
objects,
and
this
is
why
breaches
and
ransoms
persist
worldwide!
Xcitium,
however,
contains
all
unknown
objects
that
have
no
known
signature
or
hash,
preventing
attacker
damage.
This
protection-first
approach
closes
the
cyber
security
gap.
Organizations
that
run
Zero
Dwell
Containment
either
with
our
full
endpoint
or
alongside
their
existing
solutions
are
more
secure.
To
prove
the
point,
Xcitium
publishes
weekly statistics.”
Xcitium
recently
won
a
multi-year
contract
with Positivo Tecnologia,
one
of
the
leading
provider
of
computers,
cell
phones,
tablets,
accessories,
servers,
educational
technologies,
smart
homes
devices,
and
mobile
payment
terminal
in
the
Brazilian
market.
Julio
Guapo,
CIO
of
Positivo
Tecnologia,
said:
“We
selected
Xcitium
as
the
cybersecurity
solution
to
protect
our
internal
company
environment
and
users.
During
the
POC
process,
the
Positivo
Tecnologia
IT
Security
team
put
Xcitium
through
its
paces,
testing
and
repeatedly
challenging
its
ZeroDwell
Containment
technology.
Xcitium
isolated
the
attacker’s
execution
path
every
single
test
period,
so
the
threat
was
prevented
from
harming
any
endpoint.”
Nandor
Feher,
Positivo
Tecnologia’s
CISO
further
commented,
“Xcitium’s
ZeroDwell
Containment
offered
to
Positivo
Tecnologia
a
compelling
differentiation
with
patented
breach
prevention
technology
helping
the
Brazilian
tech
company
to
compose
the
corporate
zero
thrust
architecture,
as
well
as
becoming
one
of
the
most
important
layers
to
neutralize
and
protect
against
ransomware,
malware,
and
cyber-attacks.
This
is
now
one
of
the
top
tools
in
our
department.
It
is
enabling
Positivo
Tecnologia
to
face
the
cybersecurity
challenges
of
modern
attacks.
It
also
helps
us
to
fill
so
many
of
the
roles
of
other
tools.
By
consolidating,
simplifying
and
being
more
efficient
in
our
security
operations
and
the
ability
to
do
all
of
that
in
one
system,
it
proves
its
value
every
day.”
Frost
&
Sullivan
named
Xcitium
as
the
2022
Competitive
Strategy
Leader
of
the
Endpoint
Security
industry.
Sarah
Pavlak,
industry
principal
with
Frost
&
Sullivan
noted:
“Xcitium’s
ZeroDwell
technology,
utilizing
patented
kernel-level
API
virtualization,
prevents
unknown
malware
from
accessing
critical
system
resources
that
cause
damage,
while
providing
complete
use
of
the
unknown
file
or
application—this
is
a
distinct
departure
from
all
existing
vendors
that
terminate
the
offending
unknown
only
after
their
engine
makes
a
threat
determination.”
Xcitium
was
also
named
Product
of
the
Year
2022
earlier
this
month
by
AV
Labs,
an
independent
malware
test
lab
based
in
the
European
Union.
