Polyverse Announces Moving Target Defense Suite for Container Environments
Polyverse
Corporation, an emerging leader in the fields of DevOps and IoT
security, today announced that its Moving Target (News - Alert) Defense Suite is
available for Docker and Kubernetes with a simple download.
Container environments demand a new, fast and scalable approach to
defense in depth. Moving
Target Defense creates a dynamic, agile environment that reduces the
window of opportunity for hackers to craft targeted attacks.
Built with a Unix-like philosophy of distinct, composable tools that
provide specific protection against classes of attacks, the Polyverse
Moving Target Defense Suite features three interdependent components,
each of which is aimed at creating highly protective dynamism and
diversity in systems.
-
Polyverse
Binary Scrambler - sophisticated cyberattacks rely on
detailed knowledge of the target binaries. Polyverse's scrambling
compiler technology produces semantically equivalent, high-entropy
binaries that are unique on every compile - all while maintaining
exact semantic and performance equivalence. The entropy however, foils
crafted malware because data, registers and code are all different
than what the malware was expecting.
Polyverse has
incorporated this tool into open-source repositories for CentOS,
Ubuntu (News - Alert), and Alpine, providing protection for thousands of Linux-based
open-source projects from Java to Apache to Ruby on Rails. Every
installation from Polyverse's repository creates an intrinsically
cyber-resilient, unique binary that is 100% compatible with the
standard distribution binary. Since every install is unique and
diverse, attackers have no knowledge of those binaries, rendering
their zero-day crafted viruses useless.
-
Polyverse
Container Cycler - automatically removes
advanced persistent threats and other malware by continuously
resetting stateless containers back to pristine condition every five
seconds. Container cycling is completely transparent to both users and
the rest of the application.
-
Polyverse
Microservices Firewall - protects each individual
microservice rather than separating apps into tiers and securing only
the tier borders. Lightweight and easy to configure, it is deployed on
the application host and immediately protects the host against script
attacks, probing and undocumented API calls.
"Applications today are largely assembled from existing, potentially
vulnerable open-source components and frameworks. This makes them
lucrative targets for hackers, who simply have to break in once to
compromise many applications," said Polyverse CEO Alex Gounares. "More
than 30% of Fortune 1,000 companies are deploying key applications in
container environments, and it is critical that the best in security
innovation is available for these environments. It is also essential
that these technologies are agile and easy to use and deploy for DevOps.
With the Polyverse solution, just one line of code provides Moving
Target Defense for container environments, ensuring a level of diversity
that makes them nearly impenetrable."
Designed from the ground up for container environments, Polyverse is
easy to install, extremely flexible, provides almost zero latency and
operates at extremely high scale. The suite installs with just one line
of code to provide server-side protection against zero-day exploits and
advanced persistent threats.
