PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Skybox ® Security, Inc., the leader of Security Risk Management (SRM), today unveiled the company's Worm Defense Management (WDM) initiative and introduced a new worm attack simulation feature for its latest version of software, Skybox ® View 2.0. With the availability of worm simulation Skybox View becomes the first enterprise software platform to deliver continuous and proactive defense against destructive and difficult to isolate worms for large enterprises. Under a separate announcement Skybox introduced the availability of a new compliance risk management capability that dramatically lowers the risk of being out of regulatory compliance due to control and infrastructure weaknesses. With these significant additions to the highly acclaimed software, Skybox View version 2.0 sets a new standard for risk assessment, threat analysis and vulnerability remediation planning by bridging the analytics gap and driving IT security to a “pre-attack” defense posture.

“Today there is no way to know if your network is worm-resilient,” said Gidi Cohen, CEO and founder of Skybox Security. “And because of the epidemic way in which worms spread, it is impossible and impractical to patch everything just to prevent one worm attack. A smarter, more proactive approach is needed,” Cohen concluded.
