The rash of recent successful cybersecurity exploits has demonstrated that traditional approaches to cybersecurity protection are no longer enough to keep up with the escalation of advanced threats. AppGuard brings innovation and value to an industry served by many AFCEA International corporate members that are looking for new solutions to address critical cybersecurity threats to their businesses and the nation.

"AppGuard is a suite of seamlessly integrated isolation and containment, application control, memory guard, and other patented advanced technologies that prevent first-stage attacks," explains John Higginbotham, CEO of Blue Ridge. "It delivers a comprehensive new approach to defeat malware, targeted attacks, phishing attacks, zero-day threats and many other advanced threats before they can launch and do damage and does not require detection, scanning, signatures or updates. AppGuard is designed to provide 'futureproof' protection by preventing exploits even from undetected and unknown threats."

"We're delighted to be able to offer this kind of solution to our audience because, for many of them, this is their business," says Dr. Vince Patton, executive director of the AFCEA Educational Foundation. "Helping to highlight technologies and opportunities is part of what we strive to do for our members. We're grateful to Blue Ridge for making AppGuard available to our members at a special price and for the generous donation to our scholarship program. Everyone wins here."

AppGuard is compatible with all Windows operating systems from XP through Windows 10 Preview. It was recently named "Homeland Security Best Anti-Malware Solution for 2014" by GSN.
