Sana Security

Malicious attacks on business critical applications are a fact of life for today’s enterprise and government IT managers and Chief Security Officers. And, if the nature of the threat was simply the rapid rise in both the quantity and frequency of malware attacks, that would be problem enough, but it's much more than that. Patch management alone is not the answer; nor are static prevention models based on attack signature identification and system scans. What’s needed is a layered technology defense model that works to defeat highly automated, self-propagating attacks before networks and applications become infected. Sana Security provides this today.

Sana Security creates enterprise security software that is autonomous, aware of environment change, adaptive to new threats and active in preventing attacks before they do harm.

Developed to commercialize breakthrough Sana Adaptive Profiling Technology (SanAPT) developed by founder Dr. Steven Hofmeyr, Sana Security’s first threat protection software product, Primary Response, automatically detects, classifies and responds to complex threats, enabling IT to deliver business continuity without compromising visibility and control. Primary Response employs a layered technology defense, including an out-of-the-box knowledge-based system to protect end-users, applications and services, Active MDT—behavioral heuristics that can detect and prevent suspicious malware activity and SanAPT adaptive profiling that learns application file path behaviors and responds to anomaly-based threats.
