SecPod debuts ANCOR and Saner

BANGALORE, INDIA: SecPod Technologies, a leading information security company, has announced the rollout of its security platform, SecPod Ancor, an analytics and correlation engine. The availability of SecPod Saner, a vulnerability mitigation solution for businesses and home users, was also announced.

SecPod's ANCOR consists of an agent that resides on endpoint devices to collect and transmit requisite data to the highly scalable, cloud-based analytics and correlation engine. ANCOR collates information from the agents on endpoint devices, software reputation services, and vulnerability and malware data, with standards and best practices to provide real time, practical, integrated security intelligence.

Chandrashekhar, CEO, SecPod Technologies, said: "Strong defense is better than a weak cure and proactively assessing the vulnerabilities, fixing the loopholes, and strengthening the system along with providing real-time protection from attacks helps ensure a secure ecosystem. ANCOR promises to deliver on that with a line of products to cover key areas of system security."

ANCOR is based on four binding principles: Visibility, prevention, learning, and protection. Using the services of ANCOR, SecPod Saner identifies potential security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and missing patches and automatically remediates the system to keep it secure.

Greg Pottebaum, VP business development said: "With the availability of ANCOR and Saner, vulnerability management is now very affordable, practical, and effective, rather than being overly expensive and complicated. Businesses and home users can now get enterprise-class security assurance with SecPod Saner at a fraction of previous costs."
