launches a customer podcast on application whitelisting. In the podcast, Brent

organizations to prevent end-users from adding or running unauthorized
applications to their computers and grants access to only the approved
individuals or applications, eliminating their concern of the unknown variables.

measures by implementing Lumension Security Endpoint Protection, industry's
leading whitelisting application control technology. The podcast provides an

"It is easier to contain a known universe than an unknown one," says
Brent Rickels, senior vice president at First National Bank of Bosque County.
"Lumension Sanctuary, by design, allows users to run administratively approved
programs only and restricts any unknown and unauthorized executables from
springing to life. It addresses all of our concerns when it comes to malware
protection and blocking unauthorized applications." "The evolution of
threats is requiring organizations to look at their current security strategy
beyond only protecting against unknown applications and malware, to also address
insider threats and targeted external threats. While a number of niche
companies, such as Bit9, offer features that provide application level
protection, we are seeing enterprises demand integrated endpoint security
solution suites for simplified management and the highest level of protection
that can grow with their organization," said C. Edward Brice, SVP of Worldwide
Marketing for Lumension Security. "Our customers are choosing Lumension Security
over niche vendors that only provide one level of protection because we provide
a multi-faceted approach to security that can protect against unknown
applications, malware, application mis-configurations, data leakage, and
security vulnerabilities. In total, our solutions are designed to mitigate risks
and provide operational efficiency with lower TCO and tangible ROI." Source
