Announcement posted by Cylance 30 Mar 2017
Nominees and winners selected by actual product users in SANS community of security specialists
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 30 March, 2017 – Cylance® Inc., the company that revolutionised traditional antivirus with AI-powered prevention that blocks everyday malware along with today’s most advanced cyberthreats, today announced that the SANS community has named CylancePROTECT® as the winning product for the Best of 2016 Awards in the End Point Protection category.
The SANS Institute’s Best of Awards are not driven by vendors, but by security operations professionals and managers with direct experience using security products. Products and services nominated to win “Best of Year” awards have been successfully used to provide increases in both the effectiveness and efficiency of cybersecurity programs.
Cylance products and services proactively prevent and protect against malicious actors, enabling a level of security that far exceeds the effectiveness of solutions deployed throughout enterprises, government and institutions worldwide. CylancePROTECT, stops malicious software that goes unrecognised by other technologies, without requiring a cloud connection or frequent updates, and all while using a fraction of the system resources associated with legacy antivirus software.
“Being selected the best endpoint security product by the information security community – those using CylancePROTECT to defend their organisations’ information every day – means more to us than any other type of award we receive,” said Stuart McClure, co-founder and CEO at Cylance. “All of us at Cylance grew up in that community and nothing pleases us more greatly than knowing we are helping these skilled specialists fight and win this battle.”
