Faronics

Faronics is a software company that develops endpoint management and security solutions for organizations. The company's flagship product is Deep Freeze, a reboot-to-restore solution that protects computers by reverting systems to a predetermined configuration upon restart, effectively removing malware and unauthorized changes from memory and disk. This approach addresses various threats including memory-only malware that loads into RAM without installing on the hard drive. The company offers several products including Deep Freeze Cloud for centralized endpoint management, Faronics Deploy for device setup and configuration management, and Faronics Insight for classroom management and digital learning environments. These solutions enable administrators to automate reboots, freeze desired configurations, manage endpoints at scale, and safely move data between devices and network drives. Faronics serves multiple sectors including education, healthcare, retail, and hospitality. The company's solutions address challenges such as malware infections, configuration drift, point-of-sale system security, and maintaining workstation standards across large deployments. Their products provide remote access capabilities, allowing IT staff to manage computers through multiple protocols including Remote Pro, RDP, and VNC. The company is based in Vancouver and has been operating since 1996. Faronics positions its solutions as tools for reducing IT support workload by preventing system corruption and enabling quick recovery from security incidents through automated restoration processes.
