The AlertBoot Endpoint Security Advantage  The AlertBoot Endpoint Security Advantage

Sadly enough, the largest data breach in history could have been easily prevented with many of the features of AlertBoot.

If these servers were secured with AlertBoot full disk encryption and our advanced content encryption, any data on this hacked server would be completely encrypted and utterly unusable if it was removed from those machines.

More importantly, if the unauthorized attack was triggered by a backdoor trojan or other installed executable, that too could have been prevented from the beginning with AlertBoot's software application control that prevents unauthorized software or code from installing, modifying, or executing.

Taking into consideration the enormous losses to be incurred by TJX, investing in an endpoint security and encryption solution such as AlertBoot makes more and more sense.

And don't forget — AlertBoot works flawlessly in virtual environments too!
