Norman selected by Lumension to expand product offerings
Oslo, Norway – 30 November 2009 - Norman ASA, the leading innovator of proactive security solutions, today announced that it has entered into an OEM relationship with Lumension, a global leader in endpoint management and security solutions.
This OEM agreement enables Lumension to embed and resell Norman’s award-winning antivirus technology including Norman SandBox®, Norman DNA Matching and Norman Exploit into its endpoint management products and security solutions. Lumension will also bring Norman Endpoint Protection product suite to customers across the globe. The combination of Lumension security technology and Norman’s patented anti-malware engine enables Lumension to offer complete protection against the increasingly challenging mix of different Internet threats and e-crime.
“We selected Norman for our antivirus solution because of their powerful anti malware capabilities that include innovative behavioral analysis tools such as DNA Matching, SandBox and Exploit Detection. With Norman’s 25 years of experience in the antivirus market and proven technology it was a logical choice to add them into our Endpoint Suite to add an additional layer of support to our customers. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with Norman,” says Pat Clawson, Chairman and CEO of Lumension.
Norman SandBox® is a revolutionary way to detect new and unknown malware in a proactive way. It is virtual environment within the application that allows rogue files to be run to view their impact, without any risk of infecting the network. If a program performs actions that the SandBox regards as suspicious, the program is tagged as malicious. Norman DNA Matching is based on and collaborates with Norman SandBox® and is the proactive technology and method for identifying the viral profile of all kinds of malicious programs. Together with Norman Exploit Detection, technology for detecting malware exploiting vulnerabilities in widely used document types, Norman’s technology is providing unique proactive protection against new, undiscovered or “day zero” threats.
“Lumension is very well respected within the field of endpoint and software security solutions, with over 5,100 customers worldwide. We are really pleased that an industry leader such as Lumension has chosen Norman’s technology to continue to deliver the best possible security solution to their customers. This OEM agreement is a great opportunity for Norman to showcase our proactive antivirus technology as a world leading security product,” says Arvid Gomez, Vice President OEM and Technology Norman.
