9/11, A Decade Later – A better paradigm emerges for cyber security

The events of 9/11 illustrate in tragic detail the shortcomings of a black list approach to national security. The so-called black list model seeks to identify threats before they can manifest. The drawback, of course, is it cannot possibly defend well against every foreseeable threat, and is powerless against the unanticipated.

The counterpoint to the black list is the white list approach, which owns singular authority to define and grant all permissible freedoms. By permitting only pre-approved activities, it needn’t monitor endlessly for bad behavior and provides a stiffer defense against unimagined attacks.

Excerpts:

Detect attacks before it’s too late

Malware can do its work for weeks or months before you ever know it’s there. But with Wave Endpoint Monitor, you can spot malware before it has a chance to cause damage.

Antivirus software can’t detect rootkits and other malware; it works at the level of the OS and isn’t very good at seeing deeper into the system. For example, it can’t tell whether the boot record is lying. The Wave alternative is to work with the Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), or security chips, embedded in your devices. By using the TPM to attest to the security of the device each time that device boots, Wave looks below the operating system and can help detect threats lurking there. Every time a device boots up, Wave Endpoint Monitor makes a comparison against previous boot values, and if anything deviates from the norm, it alerts you immediately.
