Guidance Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: GUID), makers of EnCase®, the gold standard for digital investigations and endpoint data security, today announced that Guidance Software EnCase Endpoint Security earned five stars in SC Magazine’s September 2015 Endpoint Security Group Test. Reviewers praised Guidance Software for its unique forensic approach to endpoint security, documentation, support and performance.

As part of the endpoint security group review, SC Magazine tested 10 endpoint security solutions. The review stressed Guidance Software’s forensic background and capabilities, noting the solution “… takes the position that once you have an exfiltration problem, the best way to meet the emergency is forensically. That's a very interesting approach and it has a lot to recommend it.”

“The results demonstrated by EnCase Endpoint Security further validate the power of the product to help organizations around the world improve their ability to detect, respond to and neutralize sophisticated cyber threats,” said Michael Harris, chief marketing officer at Guidance Software. “Guidance Software is dedicated to innovation and protecting organizations’ most critical assets against the ever-changing threat landscape.”

SC Magazine claimed that EnCase Endpoint Security “… can tell you things about an attack that nothing else can.” It noted that the solution has two functions – threat detection and incident response automation – enabling organizations to establish a baseline and conduct periodic security audits. The reviewers also praised the solution’s integration capabilities, noting that it can exchange information with QRadar, FireEye, Palo Alto, Intel Security, Sourcefire and Cisco ThreatGrid.

EnCase® Endpoint Security helps incident response teams:

  • Detect unknown threats that evade perimeter technologies using endpoint data
  • Rapidly prioritize, validate and determine the scope of any event or threat
  • Assess the scope and impact of a compromise
  • Return devices to a trusted state without the need to wipe and reimage
