Encassa, founded in 2005, is based in Sydney, Australia delivers next generation defense
layers to existing desktop security. With the diversity of cybercriminal online attacks
increasing to unmanageable levels, Encassa designs its CoDefender products with the
recognition that not one single vendor or security suite is capable of defeating and
preventing every single incursion. Each day, trojans and rootkits steal passwords,
credit-card details and other private data from machines running anti-virus and anti-spyware products.
Encassa CoDefender software increases protection founded on its patent-pending
keylogging defense that delivers protection in almost any Windows application
including popular ones such as web browsers, banking applications, logins, enterprise
software and even word-processors. CoDefender software’s unique extensible Protection
Modules architecture allows other products and security partners to integrate
protection into a unified security protection platform for desktops.
