CoreTrace, Symantec, McAfee and CA to Debate the Future of Antivirus During Application Whitelisting/Blacklisting Panel at RSA

AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 04/08/09 -- CoreTrace, the creator of high-security/easy change application whitelisting technology, announced today that Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Daniel Teal, along with executives from Symantec, McAfee, and CA, will participate in a panel titled "Application Whitelisting and Blacklisting: Competitive or Complimentary?" at RSA in San Francisco. In what is expected to be a compelling and heated discussion, top executives will openly debate whether application whitelisting or blacklisting will provide the foundation of all antivirus solutions moving forward.

WHAT:   Security vendors are hyping application whitelisting as a critical
        capability for all future antivirus solutions. But the question
        remains, will application whitelisting replace or augment
        traditional blacklist-based approaches? Which will be the primary
        defense against malware, and which will be subservient? This panel
        brings together experts from both sides to give IT professionals
        new insights upon which decisions can be made.

WHO:    Daniel Teal, Founder and CTO, CoreTrace

        Zulfikar Ramzan, Technical Director and Architect,
        Symantec Corporation

        Jeff Green, Senior Vice President, McAfee Avert Labs

        Brian Grayek, VP of Product Management, CA

        Robin Bloor (Moderator), Partner, Hurwitz & Associates
