Kiplinger Recommends AppGuard to Boost PC Security

[MOT]

AppGuard http://www.appguardus.com/index.php/Home was launched in October 2013 as a consumer tool by Blue Ridge Networks, http://www.blueridge.com/ which has been providing similar security applications for government agencies for the past 17 years. John Higginbotham, chairman and CEO of Blue Ridge Networks, claims that AppGuard is the first zero-day malware protection in the marketplace that can stop any malware from attacking a system. It can protect any Windows operating system and constantly scans a computer for threats. To date, Higginbotham claims that there have been no recorded penetrations of AppGuard.

It accomplishes this comprehensive protection through the use of a unique, patented isolation and containment method to protect against persistent threats and targeted attacks that traditional antivirus, whitelisting, and sandboxing approaches cant and dont stop.

proven through several years of use by government, enterprises, and consumers without any reported failures. A leading IT industry analysis firm recently named AppGuard to its best practice Containment category for protection against malware.

What's the patent number? What's the name of that firm? Good story, but no facts presented.

It's one thing to prevent malicious applications from executing. That's easy. Zero-day exploits are an entirely different story, and they don't always operate in user space. They can operate down in the kernel, the same exact place where your "security software" lives.
