(JASDAQ: 4288)

Asgent, Inc. (JASDAQ: 4288, President & CEO: Takahiro Sugimoto, located in Chuo-ku, Tokyo), a pioneer in network security and operations management solutions, announces the signing of an agreement with Fireglass, Inc. (Founder & CEO: Guy Guzner, located in Israel) and the start of sales from June of the "Fireglass Threat Isolation Platform" to protect both endpoints web applications using isolation technology.

Recently, the number of security incidents and accidents with their cause in the Web is constantly increasing and with up to 90% of infection by malware coming through the Web. Traditional web security solutions rely on the ability to identify threats in order stop attacks, but these solutions are ineffective against new and unknown threats. In order to securely use the internet and prevent breaches, enterprises should assume any web content could be malciisous and shouldn’t be allowed to reach endpoints.

The "Fireglass Threat Isolation Platform" executes and renders all web sessions remotely and delivers to the endpoint browser only a 100% safe visual feed, while maintaining a native and seamless browsing experience. By preventing any original web content from reaching endpoints, Fireglass completely eliminates the risk of malware infection.

When a user views the Web, in addition to the Web site contents (HTML), documents (Office, PDF, video etc.) are all rendered remotely and provided as a visual feed, preventing the download of malware. Also, because the solution is agentless and operates seamlessly, the user can view the Web without even knowing that the Fireglass solution is in place.

In addition, when using this solution to protect internal and cloud applications, the content of the web site is delivered as a visual feed as a whole to the client. Since none of the sites original source is delivered to the client’s browser, Fireglass protects these web applications from man-in-the-browser and cross-site scripting attacks from users who are already infected by malware. In addition, Fireglass can control user activities including copy/pasting, printing and file upload/download to control and limit the flow of information.

Whether used to enable secure browsing or protect cloud and internal web applications, the "Fireglass Threat Isolation Platform" is offered as a managed cloud service, on premise virtual appliance or a hybrid model to support both employees at home and on the road. Asgent will begin sales of Fireglass products from June 2017.
