Problem
Traditional cybersecurity solutions often fail to detect sophisticated threats that hide within the operating system kernel, leaving critical systems vulnerable to exploitation. Existing security stacks often operate on the assumption that the underlying OS is secure, which is not always the case. This lack of visibility into the runtime environment allows attackers to establish a persistent presence and compromise system integrity.
Solution
Invary provides a runtime integrity platform that continuously validates the security and confidentiality of operating systems. By employing state-based detection, Invary identifies covert threats that evade conventional security measures. The platform leverages technology licensed from the NSA's Laboratory for Advanced Cybersecurity Research to analyze in-memory data structures and objects, establishing a baseline of expected system behavior. It then continuously measures the runtime environment against this baseline, appraising any deviations to detect anomalies and potential compromises. This approach ensures that the operating system's integrity is maintained, preventing attackers from deceiving existing security tools and establishing a foothold for ransomware or data breaches.
Target Audience
Invary targets enterprises, cloud infrastructure providers, and government organizations that require a high level of assurance in the integrity of their operating systems and need to protect against advanced persistent threats.
