Blue Ridge Networks AppGuard

AppGuard is an endpoint and server security product developed by Blue Ridge Networks. It operates on a Zero Trust model, focusing on breach prevention through application isolation and containment rather than traditional detection-based methods. Unlike conventional antivirus or EDR solutions that rely on detecting known threats, AppGuard enforces policies that prevent applications from performing unauthorized actions, stopping malware execution without requiring prior knowledge of the threat. This approach is described as "protection without detection." Key operational characteristics: - Isolates and contains application behavior to reduce the attack surface - Operates as a lightweight agent with low overhead on IT/Security operations teams - Auto-adapts to environmental changes without manual reconfiguration - Designed to complement and enhance existing security stacks rather than replace them - Stops malicious activity without interrupting legitimate user workflows AppGuard is available in two tiers: - AppGuard Enterprise: Targeted at organizations seeking centralized endpoint and server protection - AppGuard Solo: An individual/consumer-facing version available for direct purchase The product is trusted by over 15,000 organizations worldwide and has been deployed across industries including financial services and aviation (e.g., All Nippon Airways).
