EnCase Cybersecurity enables organizations to identify and analyze undiscovered threats, such as polymorphic or metamorphic malware, packed files, and other advanced hacking techniques that evade traditional network- or host-based defenses. Its powerful investigative capabilities provide organizations with the ability to search across their networks for sensitive or confidential data, such as credit card numbers, account numbers or intellectual property, and mitigate risk by wiping sensitive or confidential data from unauthorized locations, and removing malware and malware artifacts from hard drives, RAM, and the Windows Registry on laptops, desktops, and servers. Its disk-level forensic access of data on endpoints provides visibility into endpoint risk, with the ability to compare endpoints against a trusted baseline and/or an included hash database (both whitelist and blacklist).
Guidance Software has built an impressive list of government agency customers for its EnCase solutions, including the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, SEC, State Department, Department of Justice, Department of Defense, and others. Additionally, EnCase[R] software has achieved necessary accreditations for deployment on government networks, including DIACAP, FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria EAL2.
