Maximum Security

World-CARE designed the Integrated IT Software Suite with comprehensive security throughout. The World-CARE design team brings over 50 years of experience designing secure systems for government and commercial applications. World-CARE applied this experience to uniquely combine ease of use with high security.

World-CARE Agent
The World-CARE platform architecture is central to providing maximum security. Each computer managed has a small agent installed. The agent initiates all communications back to the server. Since the agent will not accept any inbound connections, it is impossible for a third party application to attack the agent from the network.

Firewalls
World-CARE does not need any input ports opened on client machines. This lets the agent do its job in any network configuration without introducing susceptibility to inbound port probes or new network attacks.

Encryption
World-CARE protects against man in the middle attacks by encrypting all communications between the agent and server with 256-bit RC4 using a key that rolls every time the server tasks the agent, typically at least once per day . Since there are no plain text data packets passing over the network, there is nothing available for an attacker to exploit.

Secure Access
Administrators access the World-CARE server through a Web interface after a secure logon process. The system never sends passwords over the network and never stores them in the database. Only the  administrator knows his or her password. The client side combines the password with a random challenge, issued by the World-CARE server for each session, and hashes it with SHA-1. The server side tests this result to grant access or not. The unique random challenge protects against a man in the middle attack sniffing the network, capturing the random bits, and using them later to access the World-CARE server.

Web Access
The Web site itself is protected by World-CARE Patch Management. The World-CARE Patch scan is run on the World-CARE server every day. As soon as new patches are released, the World-CARE Patch scan automatically detects they are needed and applies all security patches automatically. Finally, for maximum Web security, the World-CARE server Web pages fully support operating as an SSL web site.

World-CARE Endpoint Security
Add-on Module
World-CARE Endpoint Security (KES), a powerful and proven add-on to the World-CARE IT Framework, provides an essential security protection component. By incorporating reactive antivirus and spyware detection with the latest proactive technologies, MSPs and Corporate IT Professionals are able to include effective protection against malicious programs ensuring not only anti-virus protection but protection from unknown threats.
