Malwarebytes has launched Malwarebytes Enterprise Edition (MEE), a solution designed to offer governments and private organizations the capability to defend their infrastructures against advanced threats.

MEE is advertised as a solution that adds an extra layer of protection to ensure that corporate data and assets cannot be harmed by zero-day and polymorphic threats. And the best thing about it is that it can be seamlessly added to existing security products, being designed to work in harmony with existent antivirus software.

“Modern malware is able to bypass many of the antivirus technologies currently deployed in today’s enterprise, posing a serious risk to corporate data. Built from the ground up, we developed a new approach to secure, control and remediate endpoints that has already been broadly adopted in the consumer marketplace,” Malwarebytes CEO Marcin Kleczynski explained.

“MEE’s heuristic and behavior-based analysis engine adds a powerful second layer of defense to today’s corporate systems that more effectively safeguards sensitive corporate assets from the organized crime rings behind much of today’s malware.”

Besides the powerful analysis engine, MEE is also based on a global intelligence network, and the Malwarebytes Adaptive Research (AR) platform that comprises over 250 advanced technologies designed to identify malicious elements.

“Targeted malware goes to great lengths to evade antivirus products. Because these attacks are unique and unrecognized by antivirus products, they can penetrate the network and successfully compromise endpoints,” Jon Oltsik, Enterprise Strategy Group industry analyst, said about the new product.

“Malwarebytes Enterprise Edition doesn’t depend on typical definitions and uses heuristics to stop these intelligently-architected attacks before they can execute on endpoints, providing an extra layer of defense today’s corporations can well use.”

Organizations interested in protecting their assets with the new solution can purchase it right away, the price for 100 seat licenses being $1,315 (just over 1,000 EUR). Non-profit entities, governments and educational institutions benefit from special pricing.
