Regarding the award recognition, PC Pitstop founder and CEO, Rob Cheng stated,
“We are honored to be recognized as a leading anti-malware solution for the second consecutive year by American Security Today. This award represents two things. First, our dedication to malware prevention, and how that will never waiver. Second, our continuous growth to actively thwart not only today’s cyber threats, but the attack vectors criminals are using as well.”
PC Matic’s security solution is focused on malware prevention and detection, with the use of application whitelist technology. In addition to their automated whitelist, PC Matic has added malicious script blocking to thwart fileless malware attacks. They have also determined RDP attacks have grown substantially year over year. Therefore, they developed an added layer of security to mitigate the risk of RDP ports being exploited as an attack vector.
