"We look forward to being able to leverage the power of Spectator Professional to aid our security program and assist in our policy compliance requirements."

"Promisec's Spectator professional provides unmatched peace of mind for protecting sensitive information from insider threats, while at the same time remaining easy to customize, update and maintain. We're proud to announce Argent Mortgage Company as one of our newest customers."

About Spectator Professional
Spectator Professional uses innovative patent-pending technology to inspect all network endpoints and servers within the LAN for compliance with built-in and user-defined security criteria. Installed on a single security administrator workstation, Spectator Professional inspects each endpoint for unauthorized applications, services, processes or devices that may have been installed on them, while at the same time ensuring that necessary applications needed to maintain security are indeed installed and active.
If a threat is identified, Spectator Professional offers immediate remote rectification of the problem, eliminating processes or reversing harmful registry changes, without the overhead of technical staff or physical intervention. Threats are eliminated either automatically according to built-in rectification definitions or in accordance with user-defined, company security policy. With no burden on network resources, Spectator Professional can be configured to periodically or continuously inspect all endpoints within the network environment - taking only seconds per device. Spectator Professional inspects for both pre-defined and user-defined threats - ensuring that the network is in compliance with organization security policy.
