HP Wolf Security solution help State, local Government and educational organizations prevent cyber-attacks.

Ransomware and phishing attacks are often a result of human error. Employees are tricked into clicking on attachments or opening documents that they feel are safe. Training can help reduce some errors; but is training enough to protect your systems? Probably not, improving your security from these ever-growing threats remain top of mind for IT and Security professionals.  Organizations need: 

  • Additional protection to PCs, minimize risks from highly risky behavior such as opening email attachments or links on unknown webpages.
  • Improved IT efficiency, save time and resources by reducing security alerts and reducing support desk tickets. 
  • Improved end-user experience, click on files, attachments and web links without worrying about infecting their PC.

HP Wolf Security offers security software solutions to provide a virtual safety net for PC users, even when unknown threats slip past other defenses like Anti-Virus and Email Security. Hardware-enforced virtualization isolates high-risk content to protect user PCs, data, and credentials, rendering malware harmless, while IT gets actionable threat intelligence to help strengthen organizational security posture and decrease the attack surface. 

 

Threat Containment using Endpoint Isolation

HP's Threat Containment offers state and local governments a powerful solution to tackle cybersecurity challenges. Many employees unknowingly fall victim to dangerous email attachments containing Zero-Day, phishing, or ransomware attacks. HP Threat Containment uses Endpoint Isolation, a unique technology, to efficiently manage PCs and bridge security gaps often overlooked by other solutions, all while allowing employees to carry on with their regular tasks.

Endpoint Isolation consists of three key components.

  1. Micro-Virtual Machines (Micro-VM) - Creates a secure environment for risky tasks, like web surfing or opening attachments, by running them in isolated Micro-VM. This prevents any malware from infecting the PC or spreading across the network. Once the task is done, the Micro-VM is deleted, removing any malware with it.
  2. Introspection - Observe and records all actions within the Micro-VM. Suspicious activities are compared to known threat behaviors, providing valuable forensic data.
  3. Cloud Analytics - Data gathered during Introspection is uploaded to the cloud and combined with other threat intelligence sources. Both manual and AI-driven analytics are applied to uncover insights into threat actors' techniques, tactics, and processes (TTP).

With HP Threat Containment and its powerful Micro-VM technology, state and local governments can better protect their systems and data from cyber threats, ensuring a safer digital environment for their operations and employees.

​​​​​Benefits for State and Local Municipalities HP Endpoint Isolation Solution Endpoint Isolation is a particularly powerful approach because it delivers clear benefits in five key areas:

  • Inherent Protection

    Isolation is a true Zero-Trust approach: all content from untrusted sources is contained in Micro-VM, with no need for threat detection allowing employees to continue to work without interruption.

  • Visibility

    Isolation exposes and records in detail how malware attempts to execute its kill chain. It provides better forensics than sandboxing, because it allows malware to execute in the most realistic environment possible, even including user interactions while contained in a Micro-VM. This visibility allows state and local government IT teams to review any attacks at a later time.

  • Security Efficiency

    By preventing malware from installing, Endpoint Isolation significantly decreases the number of “high priority” tickets that local regional IT departments must deal with. It also decreases the number of costly and time consuming remediations.

  • End-User Experience

    Employees can work with confidence. There is no need for extensive phishing training, since high-risk tasks are automatically contained. All employees in the local government area can “work without worry

  • Compliance

    Endpoint Isolation can be used as a primary or compensating control depending on the situation. For example, it can act as the foundation for endpoint Threat Prevention and Threat Detection control activities. It can also act as a compensating control for patch management, by protecting the PC between patch cycles. In both cases, Endpoint Isolation is operationally efficient, and easily validated during an audit.
