Host-based Security

Host-based security is usually implemented to counter vulnerable anti-virus scanners. Some of the most inferior scanners include those found in free or open-source software. This solution will provide an accurate, up to date scan of current vulnerabilities. When a weakness is detected, the host or service is notified with detailed reports and can then take the appropriate action. This transfers the responsibility of identifying and managing newly discovered threats to an experienced support team, while reducing the burden of an end user. A host-based security application offers fast and effective solutions that allow thousands of computers to be thoroughly scanned. The first process consists of an identification scan, followed by checks for software vulnerability and scripted simulations of popular trends of exploitation. Comprehensive reports enable a user to prioritize task for procedures of prevention, containment or removal. Host-based security has given the industry a better way of scanning and identifying new threats, while providing solid perimeter protection.
