Oslo, Norway 25 May 2009 – Norman ASA the leading innovator of proactive antimalware solutions, today announced the release of Norman Endpoint Protection, the next generation security solution for businesses and organizations. This powerful and unmatched security solution utilizes Norman DNA Matching, Norman Exploit Detection, and Norman SandBox®, the world’s most recognized proactive technology to protect businesses.
The launch of Norman Endpoint Protection, Norman’s new security flagship, is a paradigm shift in the way organizations proactively can protect themselves against targeted and blended attacks. Norman Endpoint Protection will guard customers’ data infrastructure against the daily flow of numerous malware attacks performed by cyber criminals.
Norman Endpoint Protection is specially developed to meet both the security requirements from small businesses, requiring a comprehensive and straight forward solution to install, deploy and manage, and enterprises’ needs for securing their complex environments.
Norman Endpoint Protection is designed for high performance and low on system footprint to optimize system resources and to let businesses conduct operations as usual. Adjustment and tuning capabilities enable the administrator to calibrate the risk level to the nature of the company’s infrastructure to trigger important and necessary warnings and alarms.
The included management console Norman Endpoint Manager is used to manage the security infrastructure. This powerful management console controls and manages the endpoint security, and has an intuitive web based interface featuring reporting capabilities and a unique discovery technology. This is provided by smart antimalware clients installed on servers, desktop computers and mobile units performing the proactive malware protection. A special sniffing component searches the network to detect and rapport new and unknown devices in the environment.
Norman Endpoint Manager’s powerful policy based engine makes it easy to deploy endpoints throughout the customer’s infrastructure. A built-in policy tool lets the administrator keep the desired security state in groups of clients at all times. The risk level bar and status view module present the network’s security health status at a glance. With Norman Endpoint Protection organizations can now have confidence in their security and focus on their core business.

Listening to the security needs from our partners and customers has given Norman fundamentally important input to guide Norman in the development of Norman Endpoint Protection,” says Trygve Aasland, President and CEO, Norman ASA. “We believe Norman Endpoint Protection’s proactive ability and its simplicity to deploy and operate will provide immediate value to our customers.”
