Solidcore Systems Inc., a leader in protecting critical IT infrastructure, announced in a Tuesday press release that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted the company US patent number 7,464,408 titled "Damage Containment by Translation."
This is a foundational patent that covers Solidcore's single-solution for securing endpoints like point-of-sale (POS) systems, ATMs, Kiosks, and virtual environments where anti-virus technology does not work.
Solidcore's patented technology replaces anti-virus by preventing known and unknown computer threats, security risks, and malicious code with zero performance overhead.
Solidcore's patented endpoint security technology is the first to combine dynamic whitelisting, host intrusion prevention and file integrity monitoring capabilities.
The technology is the foundation for Solidcore's S3 Control, POS Check & Control, and S3 Control Embedded products, and is currently replacing anti-virus on more than 100,000 endpoints worldwide.
The patented technology ensures only pre-authorized software and code can run on a computer system while securely allowing software updates from trusted sources.
Solidcore prevents disk tampering and provides advanced memory protection to authorized software to defend against buffer overflow vulnerability attacks and zero-day exploits.
This level of protection extends across all forms of computer access, including access from a network or a USB key. Solidcore's single-solution for endpoint security also shortens the time, simplifies the effort, and lowers the costs for meeting Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance across store systems.
"This patent is a significant advancement for securing fixed-function devices and virtualized environments, which are two critical IT segments where anti-virus and the blacklisting security model simply does not work," Solidcore Chief Technology Officer Rosen Sharma said.
"The patent reinforces Solidcore as the leader for providing comprehensive security and PCI compliance across fixed-function devices, and it represents the foundation for how users will secure virtualized environments," Sharma concluded.
