nir-vana innovation network

A German SME, active as distributor for electronic devices of an American manufacturer and as a consultant for German clients of this manufacturer, has developed an advanced hardware architecture which disables the execution of malware. Currently most cyber-attacks are launched by executable code hidden in data. Successful hacker attacks prove that state of the art software based safety systems are not sufficiently effective.
The systems offered by the German SME hinders the execution of malware as the insertion of malware into IT-systems cannot be completely blocked with justifiable efforts. The architecture of the system renders the execution of such malware as technically impossible. An additional benefit of the solution is that the traces of the hacker cannot be erased after the installation of the malware which enables the search for the perpetrator by IT forensics.
The hardware architecture solution is applicable to computers of all scales, including multi-processor main frame systems and mobile or handheld devices. Of particular interest may be the introduction of the system in low capacity devices for the facilitation of machine to machine communication as required for an efficient and secure internet of things. The implementation of the architecture does not require new components.
The SME is searching for production licensees interested in the implementation of the offered system into their hardware, the client offers technical assistance during the implementation.
