Preserves the security of your environment while dramatically minimizing the inherent risks of downloading or installing new applications. Here’s how it works: When a user attempts to launch a non-centrally authorized executable, a dialogue box will appear that offers the option to deny or accept the launch. If it comes from a trusted and known source, the choice, obviously, would be to authorize. If a dialogue box appears after merely opening an email or an attachment, the choice would be to deny. No longer can worms and viruses turn innocent users into unwitting accomplices. No longer do you have to worry about every download or installation. Sanctuary offers the oversight you need — and the flexibility your users want.
Sanctuary calculates a cryptographic hash for each executable file. This 20-byte signature is generated using the well-known SHA-1 algorithm and serves to identify a particular file. This signature is calculated on the binary content of the executables itself instead of weak attributes such as file name or path, ensuring that only known and allowed will be executed. The signature is calculated at each and every launch of any executable code with no performance impact, delivering 100% reliability. Even if only one bit of the original file is modified it will not be allowed to execute on the host without the express approval of the user.
