FutureSoft, Inc., an endpoint security vendor, has entered into an agreement with Sunbelt Software, a provider of Windows security solutions, to license the company's anti-spyware CounterSpy SDK and threat database for integration with FutureSoft's endpoint security solution, DynaComm i:scan.
The agreement, part of FutureSoft's Endpoint Security Alliance announced earlier this year, will enable FutureSoft to leverage CounterSpy's threat database within DynaComm i:scan, to remotely scan and remove spyware from PCs and servers across the network. The anti-spyware engine will operate alongside and enhance the existing capabilities of DynaComm i:scan.
This collaboration breaks new ground in combining security solutions that address different aspects of malware and endpoint security into a single solution. The combination of the two sets of technologies will provide a multi-layered response, something analysts agree is the most secure approach to complex security threats within business networks.
New versions of DynaComm i:scan will include the enhanced anti-spyware engine and will be available over the summer from FutureSoft and its partners. Existing DynaComm i:scan customers with up to date support agreements will receive the new version for no additional charge.
