Critical Systems Protection (CSP) for Embedded Systems
Mission Critical Systems
Today, embedded systems increasingly use standard PC's with standard operating systems and a hard drive for scalability, ease of R&D and TCP/IP connectivity. These notable advantages, however, have introduced a new danger. Mission Critical Systems are now vulnerable to virus attacks and other forms of malicious code and misuse by authorized personnel operating sensitive programs.
The stability of the Embedded PC control system is jeopardized by the ever increasing risk of unauthorized software and spyware and is in need of a strong reliable security solution.
Good News for Critical Systems Suppliers and Clients
BufferZone CSP creates a separate environment called the Virtual Zone that transparently protects your stable Embedded PC control system and configuration by isolating and virtualizing potentially dangerous Internet threats.
How the BufferZone CSP Virtual Zone works:
- Isolates the existing configuration from unapproved actions of authorized system operators.
- Runs the Embedded PC control system configuration in the CSP separated environment, protected from any unauthorized program installation.
- Real time system operators can install and run any program from any source without ever affecting the embedded PC control systems configuration.

"We've looked for a security solution under very strict requirements: it should be a preventive security solution rather than a detection mechanism, it should have minimal overhead that will not impair the systems' performance, it should be a standalone solution independent of other computers, servers or the Internet and it should be independent of the security patches that are installed in the operating system. Trustware's BufferZone is the only product that we have found relevant that provides all of the above." S. Morad, Software Department Manager, R&D Infrastructures at Orbotech Ltd. |
