SecureWave

Lumension Security, formed by the combination of PatchLink and SecureWave, is a leading global security management company, providing unified protection and control of all enterprise endpoints, applications and devices. The ineffectiveness of silo endpoint solutions has sparked demand for a shift in the security paradigm as organizations look to a more holistic approach to unified security management.

Founded in 1991, Lumension pioneered the patch management market segment and led the charge in effective security and vulnerability management. Since its inception, Lumension has made two key acquisitions to round out its product portfolio: STAT Vulnerability Assessment technology from Harris Corporation, and SecureWave’s award-winning Sanctuary Device and Application Control. Lumension is maximizing the synergies between three best-of-breed, policy-based solutions to deliver definitive protection and control over your corporate endpoints. Today, with more than 5,100 customers worldwide, Lumension continues its tradition of redefining the security market by delivering unified solutions that allow enterprises to effectively manage endpoint risk.

With the barrage of threats from inside and outside the corporate walls and with regulations enforcing strict security and operations standards, enterprises face the daunting task of effectively managing their risk at the endpoint. Today’s mobile workforce multiplies the challenge exponentially as enterprises must extend their protection and control of their users’ behavior and corporate endpoints to:

• Remediate application and OS vulnerabilities
• Maintain desired security configurations
• Prevent data leakage, loss or theft
• Protect against malware and zero-day threats
• Deny use of unauthorized peripheral devices and unwanted or unlicensed applications

In facing this challenge organizations have deployed many point products, leaving them with no consolidated and consistent policy-based approach. In these situations, there is no feasible way for business, IT and security groups to interact with each other because each solution is in its own silo.

Lumension Security’s policy-driven, unified protection and control solutions enable enterprises to effectively manage risk across disparate groups, comply with security policies and regulations, consolidate IT resources, and ultimately reduce costs and improve overall efficiencies. Based upon a policy-framework that mitigates non-compliant behavior or vulnerabilities before problems occur, Lumension solutions assure that desired security postures are consistently and continuously enforced throughout the enterprise.

Lumension solutions are used across a wide range of industries to address endpoint security and operations challenges and to bring disparate groups together within an enterprise to develop and enforce security policies
