Virsec Honored with Two 2018 ASTORS Homeland Security Awards

November 20, 2018 By admin

Virsec Security Platform Wins Gold Award for Best ICS/SCADA Cyber Security

Virsec, a cybersecurity company delivering a radically new approach to protect against advanced targeted attacks, today announced it has been recognized by American Security Today’s Homeland Security Awards. The Virsec Security Platform received both a Gold Award for Best ICS/SCADA Cyber Security and Silver Award for Best IT Intrusion Detection & Prevention Solution.

“It’s very rewarding to be honored for our pioneering work in addressing the important security needs of critical infrastructure and IoT systems. As these systems become connected, they are increasingly at risk, and numerous recent attacks have targeted power plants, water facilities, and other critical infrastructure. Virsec stops these advanced attacks in real-time, before damage is done,” said Ray DeMeo, COO of Virsec.

Because of its unique approach to security and patented technology, Virsec has been deployed by Raytheon, AVEVA, and GHD in demanding defense and critical infrastructure applications. Raytheon and Virsec have also partnered to bring commercial cybersecurity tools to global government and critical infrastructure customers.

The ASTORS program is specifically designed to honor distinguished government and vendor solutions that deliver enhanced value, benefit and intelligence to end users in a variety of government, homeland security, enterprise and public safety vertical markets.

“Today, the United States is increasingly focusing on protecting IT/cyber security networks, and government and security professionals are calling on innovative companies like those honored with 2018 ASTORS Awards, to help them do so,” said Michael Madsen, co-founder and publisher of American Security Today.

“ASTORS’ nominations are evaluated by American Security Today’s panel of sector experts on their technical innovation, interoperability, specific impact within the category, overall impact to the industry, relatability to other industry technologies, and application feasibility outside of the industry,” according to Tammy Waitt, co-founder and editorial director of American Security Today.

Virsec’s patented Trusted Execution™ technology protects any application, across the full application stack including web applications, interpreted code, malicious scripts, compiled binary code, and process memory – protecting memory usage on a block by block basis. The solution maps correct application behavior, and instantly detects and blocks deviations caused by attacks. This deterministic approach stops threats in real-time, delivering unprecedented accuracy, without false positives.
