The product, ImmuneEngine, takes a different approach from anti-virus or intrusion detection software (IDS) as it fights off viruses, Trojan horses, worms, spyware, and other unauthorized software installs and modifications, company officials said.
ImmuneEngine does not work off of a list of known threats, but rather monitors Windows system kernels, identifies any unauthorized executables, and prevents their execution or shuts them down if they are running.
The product has been in testing for the last 18 months, has survived 19,000 different types of attacks, and has been approved for use in government agencies by the National Security Agency (NSA), officials said.
"IDS only detects. We stop. We're the final shield," said Jim Kollegger, president and CEO of BBX Technologies. "The breakthrough technology is we have developed a system that monitors the entire computer in real time."
As an extra layer of security, the ImmuneEngine system cannot be taken down even if a system's root access has been compromised, officials said. "It's a two-key system," said John Michener, the company's chief scientist and vice president for business development. "In our version, you can't unload us, kill the task or ignore the system administrator. It requires two individuals to turn off. Root privilege won't bring it down."
ImmuneEngine, for all 32-bit Windows operating systems, comes in a server version, a workstation version and a "very robust" government, officials said. The server versions run as a system service or an application, they said.
