AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - May 19, 2009) - CoreTrace, the pioneer of client-based application whitelisting technology, announced today that Network Products Guide, a leading publication on information technologies and solutions, has named BOUNCER a winner of its 2009 Best Products and Services Awards in the category of application security. This award honors products and services that meet the rapidly changing demands of technology worldwide.

"Recent acquisitions and industry news are pointing toward application whitelisting becoming a foundational component of anti-malware solutions moving forward," said Toney Jennings, CEO of CoreTrace. "With the adoption of whitelisting escalating exponentially, we are proud to be at the forefront of this movement and this award from Network Products Guide further solidifies our position."

BOUNCER is the only application whitelisting solution that simultaneously stops even the most sophisticated malware attacks (e.g., rootkits, memory exploits), while allowing users to safely install new applications and have them automatically added to the whitelist without requiring IT involvement. BOUNCER's impressive record against rogue applications was shown at the Defcon16 "Race to Zero" competition last year where BOUNCER stopped 100 percent of all malware. Leading blacklist-based antivirus solutions stopped 60 percent. With the additional protection that BOUNCER provides, for example memory protection, this one solution replaces an entire suite of products from traditional antivirus companies.

"Especially in regards to security, increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology are shaping better solutions," says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Network Products Guide. "CoreTrace's unique application whitelisting technology is truly disrupting the antivirus market and relegating traditional blacklisting obsolete."
