MGT Announces Commercial Release of Sentinel

HARRISON, N.Y., Oct. 14, 2016 -- MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MGT) is proud to announce the commercial release of its first network security product designed by whitehat hackers and John McAfee. Sentinel represents a new paradigm in the defense against malicious hackers. The system, comprised of a passive hardware device connected to each subnet, monitors network traffic for suspicious activity using sophisticated algorithms and heuristics, generating an alert and deploying appropriate countermeasures. Simply put, Sentinel is the first user-friendly security device to provide actionable intelligence before companies are hacked.
 
Further, Sentinel is the first in a suite of products designed to proactively protect networks, computers, users and their data. Without degrading network quality, the system gives the edge back to companies by alerting them to intrusions on their network, and by distracting hackers with honeypots before real damage occurs. Sentinel mitigates risk by greatly reducing the time a hacker has to operate inside protected networks, upload malware or steal data. This also allows for an investigation to begin while an attack is in progress, rather than after the perpetrator has completed the hack.
