A Response to COVID-19

Surging Cyber Security Threats

Vizient is pleased to offer AppGuard, a unique Zero Trust cyber security solution, available through Evanston Technology Partners (a Healthcare Asset Operation Center), to address the increased threats facing the Healthcare community arising from COVID-19.

AppGuard is a unique technology that was developed in 2009 in close collaboration with U.S. Intelligence agencies to address the cyber threats faced by personnel in extremely high risk environments around the world. AppGuard has evolved to address the emerging threats to the Healthcare industry. AppGuard for Healthcare is a Zero Trust, pre-compromise endpoint solution that can be deployed on workstations or servers to protect patient, research, or donor sensitive information. It is made available to all members through an annual or monthly purchase program.

AppGuard secures your critical Healthcare infrastructure:

OS Segmentation

Identifies and groups applications based on OS location, separating system resources into “System Space.” Apps can only launch from System Space, unless a “Trusted” exception is granted.

Pre-Launch

Isolation Technology (Patented)

Applications in system space are grouped into high risk and non-high-risk applications. Out- of-box policies are enforced based on grouping.

Inheritance Technology (Patented)

Child processes that start in a high-risk app but execute from a low-risk app “inherit” the high-risk policies.

Post-Launch

Key Differentiators:

  • Prevention Without Detection
    • Stops all attacks before they succeed
    • NO Breach Expense
  • Lightweight Agent (CPU/Memory)
    • Limited use of system resoruces, even while under attack
  • Endpoint Hardening
