SAN RAMON, Calif., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Faronics kicked off this
year's RSA Conference 2007 by announcing that Sunbelt Software will be
leveraging the strength of Faronics Deep Freeze to protect their CWSandbox
automated malware analysis suite. This technological alliance represents
another case in point of how Faronics products are being used to advance
the efficiency and productivity of the information security industry.
Deep Freeze provides absolute system integrity to workstations by
restoring software configurations to a predetermined state, each and every
time, down to the last byte. By applying Deep Freeze protection to a clean
CWSandbox environment, information security researchers are guaranteed a
fresh, standardized sandbox session, with each and every restart. Since
Deep Freeze's "reboot-to-restore" process does not increase bootup times
whatsoever, it triumphs over competing system restoration technologies,
which require both user initiation and system downtime. For Sunbelt
Software, Faronics Deep Freeze was the clear choice.
"By ensuring CWSandbox users a consistent working environment, they
will in turn be able to carry out their malware research more effectively,
which ultimately will benefit the entire computing industry, Faronics
customers included," said Brent Smithurst, Vice President of Technical
Operations for Faronics. "It's a perfect example of a symbiotic
relationship."
"We count some of the largest telecom and IT security enterprises
globally as CWSandbox customers. They rely on our technology as a core
component of their internet threat defense strategy, and Faronics Deep
Freeze is an important part of the overall solution," said Chad Loeven,
Vice President of Business Development for Sunbelt Software.
A fully functional, 60-day evaluation version of Deep Freeze can be
downloaded free of charge at http://www.faronics.com for both the Windows and Mac
platform. CWSandbox is available from Sunbelt Software at
