Reply to Jeanne Morain-VP of Business Development & Strategy for InstallFree

"Another key requirement is complete visibility inside the virtual environment through 2 Factor Discovery. The first factor is just detecting the virtual application is there and the 2nd is visibility into the actual virtual environment. Often times with malware etc it is registered or hidden under a more commonly accepted name. If you can not see all the EXEs within the virtual application then it is hard to tell what is hidden underneath or map it back correctly into Asset Mgmt or Service Desk tools. It may not just be a malware or security concern but also a business risk in terms of license compliance.



A very nice work done by InstallFree.

But how can one detect an exe whether it is a virus or a malware or any malicious software. Almost all banks which are yet not implementing Cloud Computing, has this as one of the reasons no suprise more of the reason is their data security.
