Corporations often require that all their machines be reimaged in order to clean malware from their systems. Yet re-imaging is not an effective or cost-efficient approach to the problem. Based on HBGary’s own research, more than 50% of the machines re-imaged suffer a malware re-infection. The cost of re-imaging machine also can be prohibitive, averaging around $95-200 per machine in hard costs and up to $5000 a machine in lost productivity and downtime. With Inoculator, organizations now can greatly reduce –and even eliminate – these costs.

Inoculator does not use agents. It manages all end‐nodes using standard Windows®‐networking API’s over the network. With Inoculator, enterprise organizations do not have to reimage their machines to clean their systems. Even if your organization’s security policy requires reimaging, Inoculator can be used to prevent the known malware from re-infecting your system.

HBGary Inoculator and Active Defense also work together to provide the first enterprise software solution to detect and remove both known and unknown advanced cyber threats.
