CoreTrace and Conquest Security Unite to Provide Application Whitelisting Solutions to US Government Customers GAITHERSBURG, MD and AUSTIN, TX, March 6, 2009 – Conquest Security, an information security consulting firm focused on innovative technologies for the federal government, announced today that it has joined forces with CoreTrace, the enterprise application whitelisting / anti-malware market leader. The agreement provides CoreTrace with federal market consulting, contracting services, sales management and technical support services for BOUNCER - the industry’s only high-security / easy-change application whitelisting solution. BOUNCER leads the attack against security breaches on three fronts - defeating malware and other exploits directly, limiting user privileges in the enterprise, and preventing end users from altering the configuration of their system. In addition to BOUNCER’s unparalleled anti-malware abilities, the solution also includes the game-changing, patent-pending "Trusted Change" capability, enabling IT professionals to pre-define multiple sources from which users can safely install applications and have them automatically added to the whitelist—without any further IT involvement required. As a result, BOUNCER is an application whitelisting solution that simply works, with far less administrative overhead. "Application whitelisting is quickly gaining credibility as a viable anti-malware solution from laptops to critical infrastructure systems. The federal government is typically at the forefront of adopting emerging technologies that will keep them ahead in the cybersecurity battle, and Conquest Security has both the experience and the knowledge to identify those agencies willing to invest in innovative solutions like BOUNCER," said Robert Huffman, vice president at CoreTrace. "We are excited to work with CoreTrace and to expand their presence in the federal market. While everything is being done to prevent systems from being compromised, BOUNCER protects you from malware that can still evade traditional solutions and imbed itself on valuable assets" said Rich Smith, vice president at Conquest Security. " Application whitelisting is the new foundation of endpoint control and we are confident that we can help BOUNCER become the premier solution for the federal government."
