Company Name: Red Piranha
Announcement Date: 14/03/2019
Announcement Category: Product launch/update
Announcement Content:
Red Piranha has today announced the information security industry's FIRST ever agentless endpoint Application Whitelisting (AWL) technology.
Red Piranha, developer of Australiaâs first next-generation firewall, Crystal Eye, has released its latest technology in their already cutting edge, feature-packed Crystal Eye, Unified Threat Management (UTM) platform.
The company announced the gateway-controlled device Application Whitelisting (AWL) technology at its product launch in Canberra, Australia, to guests from both industry and government sectors.
This technology has been purposely built to perform AWL on network gateway devices at scale, making the process of whitelisting simple in an otherwise complex and changing environment. Creating, deploying and managing device application whitelists with Crystal Eye is fast, allowing organisations to become secure and meet compliance requirements sooner.
With this new Crystal Eye technology, organisations can deploy and manage the whitelisting âAWLâ process from the gateway UTM without the need for agents or needing to have physical access to devices, significantly reducing the burden on IT teams to deploy this critical security control. Remote IT, and security teams can deploy and manage the endpoint application control process remotely and within minutes across large networks with multiple endpoints.
âIt seems that the extended security community has come to a consensus that AWL is one of the most important security technologies/techniques an organization can and should implementâ -U.S. Department of Homeland Security
While no single mitigation strategy is guaranteed to prevent an incident, the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) recommends businesses implement eight essential mitigation strategies as a baseline. These strategies, known as the âEssential Eightâ, make it significantly harder for systems to be compromised with AWL being number one on the list.
Unlike traditional signature-based file blocking (commonly known as âblacklistingâ) such as antivirus programs, Crystal Eye AWL only allows programs it has been instructed to trust, to run on the network.âIf the software is not on the whitelist, it will be prevented from running, regardless of whether a file is known as good, bad or indifferent. This feature proactively prevents malicious code from running on a network, before any damage occurs.
Until now, AWL has been difficult to deploy and maintain within an organisation because it has to be deployed on every device rather than at the gateway.
Crystal Eye AWL has been developed from the ground up by security professionals to solve real-world problems faced with application whitelisting. The AWL technology also tracks software encrypted network communications making it the world leader in dealing with encrypted unknown malware threats and new emerging threats.

About Red Piranha:
At Red Piranha, we came up with a simple concept: a holistic security solution that works. Recruiting a team of experts from around the globe â from engineers to academics to ethical hackers â we worked to develop the most exhaustive and effective security controls available on the market.
In 2013, we integrated the threat intelligence platform DNS.insure into the development of the Crystal Eye Unified Threat Management system for advanced cloud and on-premise protection. Since then, we've developed additional capability around threat detection and incident response along with the integration of other advanced security capabilities to evolve into the Crystal Eye XDR platform.
The result? A comprehensive platform of threat management tools that ensures advanced protection, threat detection and incident response.
Because when our most valuable assets are digital, quick fixes shouldnât be the status quo â and shrouding them in a fog of confusion shouldnât be either. At Red Piranha, we believe having the safest, most reliable information security system is everyoneâs right â regardless of industry or budget.
